Urine-Based Markers for Bladder Cancer Reviewed
The advances in understanding bladder cancer at the molecular and genetic level have led to the identification of detectable and measurable alterations associated with the disease. Given the ease of obtaining voided urine and its direct contact with potentially malignant urothelium, numerous urine-based tumor marker tests have been generated. More...01 Nov 2017

Genetic Testing Recommended for Children at Risk for Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a cancer that starts in the retina at the very back of the eye. It can also spread to other parts of the body, including the brain and bones. There are approximately 350 new cases diagnosed each year in the USA. More...31 Oct 2017
Risk for Colorectal Cancer Linked to Polyps and Adenomas
Most colorectal cancer develops from precursors known as polyps, the most common of which are conventional adenomas. Conventional adenomas often progress to colorectal cancer through an intermediate step called high-risk adenomas. More...25 Oct 2017


New 3D App Provides More Accurate Cancer Diagnosis
With further development of light-sheet microscopy based 3D imaging, researchers were able to examine tumor biopsy tissue in more detail than current 2D methods, resulting in improved intratumoral heterogeneity phenotyping and diagnosis of solid tumors. More...16 Oct 2017

Liquid Biopsy Test Outperforms Prostate Cancer PCA3 Test
Of the nearly two million prostate biopsies performed each year, less than a third find cancer. Most of these men could have avoided a painful and invasive prostate biopsy procedure, with its associated complications and costs. More...11 Oct 2017
