Circulating Cell-Free Nucleosomes Biomarkers Confirmed for Cancer Blood Tests

Studies have shown substantially improved overall survival among individuals screened for colorectal cancer (CRC), which is explained by diagnosis of early stages and prevention of CRC by endoscopic removal of precancerous lesions. More...

Liquid Biopsy Urine Test Detects Mutations In Lung Cancer

While lung cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies, progress has been made in the advancement of therapeutic strategies against the disease and in particular, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). More...

The dark purple (center) is lymphocytes (part of a normal lymph node). Surrounding the lymphocytes and extending into the surrounding fat (top of image) is ductal breast carcinoma (Photo courtesy of Michael Bonert / Wikimedia).

Artificial Intelligence Achieves Near-Human Performance in Image Analysis

A research team has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method that trains computers to interpret pathology images. In a recent test of the method developed to examine images of lymph nodes, human complemented with computer analyses together identified breast cancer with 99.5% accuracy. More...

Wide-ranging Genomic Study Links Migraine-Related Genes to the Vascular System

Results from 22 genome-wide association (GWA) studies conducted by dozens of researchers worldwide suggest that migraine is linked to specific gene loci that are associated with some vascular disease or are involved in the regulation of vascular tone. More...

PCR Better at Identifying Breast Tumor Subtypes than Immunohistochemistry

A recently published study suggested that a RT-qPCR (reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) assay was superior to classical immunohistochemistry for subtyping breast tumors. More...

Peripheral Blood Eosinophilia Correlates with Hyperplastic Nasal Polyp Growth

A reliable way to track the course of nasal polyps in chronic sinus disease, maybe linked to rising levels of immune system white blood cells, called eosinophils, with regrowth of polyps removed by surgery. More...
