2D Gel Immunoblot Test Detects Mesothelioma Biomarkers in the Blood Years Prior to Appearance of Symptoms
An advanced two-dimensional gel electrophoresis test has demonstrated the presence of a biomarker for mesothelioma in the serum of individuals four to 10 years before the appearance of clinical symptoms. More...16 Feb 2016

Study Shows Importance of mTORC1 and p21 Signaling in Head and Neck Carcinomas
A team of Spanish cancer researchers has found that over-activation of the mTORC1/4E-BP1/p21 molecular pathway is a frequent and clinically relevant alteration in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. More...15 Feb 2016

Prognostic Biomarker Found for Colon Cancer Patients
The majority of colon cancer patients whose tumors have started to travel to nearby tissue but no further are cured by surgery alone, but in a minority of these stage II colon cancer cases the cancer returns and the patients die. More...10 Feb 2016

Aberrant Gene Expression Predicts Metastatic Endometrial and Lung Cancers
The spread of cancer cells from the initial site of occurrence, the primary site, to other secondary tissues is called metastasis, and contributes to poor or limited response of cancer cells to treatments, which results in death. More...10 Feb 2016

Fecal Immunochemical Test Effective for Annual Colon Cancer Screening
The fecal immunochemical test is highly sensitive for detecting colorectal cancer, and adherence to annual follow-up screening among initial participants is high, making the noninvasive test feasible and effective for annual colorectal cancer screening programs. More...10 Feb 2016
