DNA Alterations Identified Occur Earliest in Lung Cancer Development
Lungs resected for adenocarcinomas often harbor minute discrete foci of cytologically atypical pneumocyte proliferations designated as atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, which may represent an initial step in the progression to adenocarcinoma in situ. More...30 Sep 2015

Blood Types Correlate with Survival After Prostate Cancer Vaccine
Simple, inexpensive strategies to target treatment to likely responders could substantially improve efficacy while simultaneously reducing health care costs, but identification of reliable biomarkers has proven challenging. More...29 Sep 2015

Micro Ribonucleic Nucleic Acid Panel Assays Launched
A novel approach has been developed by combinations of micro ribonucleic nucleic acid specific reverse transcriptase and hemi-nested real-time polymerase chain reaction primers that have been designed to maximize miRNA detection sensitivity and specificity. More...28 Sep 2015

Newly Identified Biomarker Indicates Risk of Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis
Cancer researchers have identified a gene that is critically linked to the ability of some breast cancer tumors to metastasize to the bone and which may be developed into a biomarker to identify patients at risk for this development. More...28 Sep 2015


Keratin 17 Oncoprotein Potential Cervical Cancer Biomarker
The keratin protein K17, which was thought to play a purely passive mechanical support role for tumors, has been shown to act as a cancer-promoting oncoprotein whose expression by cervical cancer cells is linked to decreased likelihood of survival. More...21 Sep 2015
