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...

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...

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...

Liquid Biopsy for Retinoblastoma Discovered

A new study indicates a proof-of-concept for a safe and effective way to derive genetic profile information from a retinoblastoma tumor without removing the eye. More...

Metabolomics Analysis Applied to Investigate MPS

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) represent a group of about 500 rare diseases with an overall estimated incidence of 1/2,500. The diversity of involved metabolisms explains the difficulties in establishing their diagnosis. More...

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...

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...
