Prognostic Biomarker Found for Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a major health concern due to its rising incidence. Whilst early stage disease is generally cured by surgery, advanced EC has a poor prognosis with limited treatment options, and altered energy metabolism is a hallmark of malignancy. More...08 Jan 2018



Genetic Test Recommended for Inherited Prostate Cancer
To date, there have been few recommendations to guide physicians about when to offer men genetic consultation for prostate cancer risk. A subset of prostate cancers, about 10%-15% of all prostate cancer are inherited and that at least some of the genes that confer the inherited risk are known and testable. More...26 Dec 2017
Significant Disparities Found between Liquid Biopsy Providers
Liquid biopsy is a new and noninvasive alternative to tumor tissue sequencing, and it is intended to specifically detect and sequence tumor DNA circulating in patients' blood. The results are used to help guide doctors to tailor the best treatment for patients at each point of their disease. More...26 Dec 2017
