AI Approximates Human Performance in Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods that train computers to interpret pathology images could make pathologic diagnoses more accurate. More...

Image: The new BRIM technology enables pathologists to identify whether a DCIS is aggressive or not. In this image of a DCIS sample, the biomarkers CD44hi/CD24lo, reveals intraductal cells of aggressive cancer that are highlighted (Photo courtesy of University of Michigan Health System).

Aggressive Breast Cancer Identified with Fluorescent Technique

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer and in DCIS, epithelial cells proliferate within ducts, which are surrounded by a double layer of myoepithelial cells and basement membranes. More...

Image: A histopathology of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia CIN 3. There is severe dysplasia that involves more than 2/3 of the epithelium, and may involve the full thickness. This lesion may sometimes also be referred to as cervical carcinoma in situ (Photo courtesy of Dr. Sean Kavanagh).

Persistent HPV Infection Raises Risk of Anogenital Cancers

Women with a history of severe cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, a precancerous condition of the cervix that arises from infection with the human papillomavirus, have a long-term increased risk of developing anal, vulvar, and vaginal cancer. More...

Parkinson's Disease Biomarker Found in Urinary Samples

A biomarker helps physicians predict, diagnose or monitor disease, because the biomarker corresponds to the presence or risk of disease, and its levels may change as the disease progresses. More...

Benign Tissue Structural Features Predict Risk of Prostate Cancer Recurrence Following Surgery

A preliminary study found that evaluation of a collection of structural features observed in normal tissues surrounding a prostate tumor was a better predictor of risk of recurrence of the cancer following surgical removal of the tumor by radical prostatectomy (RP). More...

Detection of Circulating Tumor DNA Predicts Colon Cancer Recurrence

A team of American and Australian cancer researchers has demonstrated that circulating fragments of tumor DNA (ctDNA) could serve as a biomarker for identifying patients with high risk of recurrence of colon cancer. More...

Image: According to new research, a blood test that leads to donor hearts being rejected may not effectively predict whether a heart transplant will succeed or fail (Photo courtesy of the AMA).

Heart Transplantation Recipients Unaffected by Donor Troponin Levels

Many transplant centers routinely reject hearts if the donor’s blood test reveals elevated levels of troponin I, a protein found in heart muscle that enters the bloodstream when there is a heart attack or other heart muscle damage. Donors with previous heart disease are automatically excluded. More...
