Analysis of Circulating Free DNA May Replace Tumor Biopsy for Detection of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
A recent paper showed that analysis of circulating free DNA in blood samples could replace biopsy as a means for detecting patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer that was distinguished by oncogenic epidermal growth factor receptor mutations. More...10 Mar 2015
Aggressive Bladder Cancers May Be Identified by Measuring Two Urinary Proteins
British cancer researchers have found that measuring the urinary proteins epidermal growth factor receptor and epithelial cell adhesion molecule may represent a simple and useful approach for diagnosing and treating patients with the most aggressive bladder cancers. More...08 Mar 2015
Blood Tests Help Identify Children Who Need Appendectomy
Appendicitis is the most common abdominal surgical emergency in the pediatric population, yet the diagnosis remains challenging in many cases and the use of laboratory data as a diagnostic adjunct has similarly been associated with relatively low sensitivity, and children with pathology-proven appendicitis can often present with a normal leukocyte count More...04 Mar 2015
Gene Test Matches Treatment to Patients with Cancer of Unknown Origin
Cancer of unknown origin is defined as a tumor from a patient presenting with metastatic carcinoma that did not unequivocally originate from a confirmed primary site on the basis of available diagnostic methods. More...02 Mar 2015
