New Molecular Test Identifies Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with more than 600,000 deaths each year. Among individuals undergoing treatment for the disease, recurrence occurs in 30% to 50% of all cases. The majority of these cases present in the first two to three years following initial diagnosis and treatment. More...

Blood Test Identifies Key Alzheimer's Marker

Decades before people with Alzheimer's disease develop memory loss and confusion, their brains become dotted with plaques made of a sticky protein, called amyloid beta that is thought to contribute to the disease and its progression. More...
