Prognostic Protein Biomarker Found for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
Podocalyxin-like protein (PODXL) is a cell surface transmembrane glycoprotein, the expression of which has been associated with poor prognosis in a range of malignancies including glioblastoma multiforme, breast cancer, bladder cancer, periampullary and pancreatic adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer.

Study Highlights Importance of Regular Lung Cancer Screenings for Higher Risk Patients
Researchers have found that patients who tested negative for lung cancer (LC) in an LDCT (low-dose helical computed tomography) screening, but later went on to develop lung cancer within the following two years, had poorer outcomes than patients who initially had a non-cancerous positive screen test result.

Epigenetic Similarity in Cancer Cells Characterizes More Aggressive Tumors
Cancer researchers have found that the degree of epigenetic similarity among colorectal tumor cells was reflected in patients as significantly shortened relapse-free survival time and shortened time of overall survival. More...29 Aug 2016
Early Detection Identified for Leukemia Patients' Resistance to Therapy
A world-first breakthrough in the early detection of patients' resistance to a common treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia has been made. The discovery offers some hope that the patients' treatment could be changed sooner to improve their chances of survival. More...25 Aug 2016
Parkinson's Disease Risk Indicators Found in Diverse Tissues
Tiny changes in DNA that have been linked to Parkinson's disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's, were found not only in brain cells, where they were expected, but also in liver, fat, immune and developmental cells. More...18 Aug 2016
Biomarker of Aggressive Prostate Cancer Discovered
The level of a specific molecule present in prostate tumors is an indicator of whether the cancer is aggressive and likely to spread and this will aid future clinical tests to help doctors decide how best to treat prostate tumors. More...18 Aug 2016
