Deubiquitinating Enzyme A Biomarker for Endometrial Cancer Recurrence
Cancer researchers have found that expression of the deubiquitinating enzyme USP14 (Ubiquitin-specific protease 14) is elevated in endometrial adenocarcinoma and could serve as a biomarker to identify patients at risk for recurrence of the disease. More...31 May 2016

Simple Sarcopenia Screening Test Found to Predict Heart Failure Severity
Researchers have shown that the simple screening method originally developed to diagnose sarcopenia can be used, instead of CT or MRI, to quickly and easily predict severity of heart failure disease. They also found that the predictive capabilities of the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) lab test for heart function can be further improved if coupled with a patient's sarcopenia test score.

Simple Test Predicts Childhood Cancer Relapse
High-risk neuroblastoma, which occurs mostly in children under five, is treated with surgery and chemotherapy, and neuroblastomas currently rated low risk are just removed or left untreated while doctors 'wait and see', but a fraction of low risk tumors recur and ultimately kill. More...26 May 2016
