Bacterium Actively Drives CRC Tumor Growth
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death. The recognition that microbial agents can contribute to the development of CRC raises hope for improving CRC diagnosis and treatment by incorporating both microbial and patient characteristics into clinical strategies.

Specific MicroRNA Identifies Glioblastoma Subtypes
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an extremely aggressive brain cancer, is a very complex disease. It is characterized by a fast-growing tumor in the brain composed of many subpopulations of cells, including glioblastoma stem cells, which play a crucial role in glioblastoma initiation, expansion and therapy-resistance.

Molecular Testing Evaluated for Thyroid Nodules
Thyroid nodules are a common clinical concern and increasing use of diagnostic imaging likely explains a large part of the increased incidence of thyroid nodules and the subsequent diagnosis of thyroid cancer that has been observed during the last three decades. More...26 Jul 2017


Optofluidic Device Quantifies CTCs in Blood
Researchers have developed a portable device that rapidly detects and counts circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood samples. It can help provide early diagnosis and help assess a patient’s level of health with convenient, inexpensive, effective testing for monitoring patients with cancer. More...25 Jul 2017
Parkinson’s Disease Patients at Higher Risk for Melanoma
Study finds that people with Parkinson’s disease have a much higher risk of the skin cancer melanoma, and vice versa. Physicians treating patients with one disease should be vigilant for signs of the other in order to achieve early diagnosis and treatment, and patients should be educated about the risk of developing the other illness.
