HPV Testing Detects More Precancerous Lesions

Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing detects a higher number of precancerous cervical lesions than cytology-based Papanicolaou (Pap) smears in a female population including a proportion offered HPV vaccination according to a new study. More...

Immunocompromised Patients at Risk for Blastomycosis

Most invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients are caused by Zygomycetes, Aspergillus, and Candida, but literature about Blastomyces infection in immunocompromised patients has been sparse. More...

Urinary Tract Biopsy Correlates Urothelial Carcinoma Diagnosis

Urothelial carcinoma (UCC), also known as transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is a type of cancer that typically occurs in the urinary system. It is the most common type of bladder cancer and cancer of the ureter. More...

Genetic Cause of Peritoneal Mesothelioma Discovered

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive tumor that, in many cases, results from exposure to asbestos, but other causes of the disease have emerged, including treatment with high-intensity therapeutic radiation and, more recently, an inherited genetic mutation. More...

Blood Test Predicts Treatments for Lung Cancer Patients

Traditionally, lung cancer diagnosis has relied solely on lung biopsies, an invasive procedure which many patients are too unwell to tolerate. A simple test, which can detect gene mutations in tumor DNA from blood samples, is giving new choices to lung cancer patients with faster diagnosis and improved access to life changing drugs. More...

Protein Network Mutations Impact Revealed in Bowel Cancer

The role proteins play in predicting how common mutations affect proteins in the cancer cells has been investigated and also whether such proteins are important in predicting the cancer's response to treatment. More...

Cholesterol Diagnosis Related to Breast Cancer Risk

Breast cancer is a malignancy that begins when cells grow abnormally in breast tissue. Although men can also develop breast cancer, it is much more common in women. Among women around the globe, breast cancer is the most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. In 2012, nearly 1.7 million new cases, a quarter of all new cancer cases in women, were diagnosed worldwide. More...
