Early Stage Melanoma Identified by Simple Blood Test

Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. Melanomas typically occur in the skin but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye. More...

Handheld Mass Spectrometer Identifies Cancer Tissue in Seconds

A team of scientists and engineers has invented a powerful device that rapidly identifies living cancerous tissue, giving surgeons precise diagnostic information about what tissue to cut or preserve. More...

Epstein-Barr Virus Increases Risk of MS

While being infected at a young age with Epstein-Barr virus generally causes few, if any, symptoms, delayed exposure into adolescence or adulthood can cause infectious mononucleosis with symptoms that can be quite severe. More...

Tumor Marker Tests Overused in Primary and Secondary Care

A tumor marker is a biomarker found in blood, urine, or body tissues that can be elevated by the presence of one or more types of cancer. The vast majority of tumor marker tests in primary and secondary care may not be necessary as the tests assisted with a cancer diagnosis in just 2% of patients. More...

Blood Test Predicts Prostate Tumor Resistance

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death among European men. In metastatic PCa progression from a hormone-sensitive state to castration resistance under androgen deprivation therapy marks the transition to the lethal phenotype of the disease. More...

Liquid Biopsy Panel Yields Complete Molecular Profile

The first liquid biopsy pan-cancer panel that simultaneously interrogates exosomal ribonucleic acid (exoRNA) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in a single assay has been launched. More...

AI Could Help Identify Early Skin Cancer

Newly developed technology uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help detect melanoma skin cancer earlier than current methods and to help reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies. The AI-based method employs machine-learning software to analyze images of skin lesions and to provide doctors with objective data on telltale biomarkers of melanoma. More...
