Molecular Blood Test Helps Physicians Identify Benign Lung Nodules
Conservative management of lung nodules, sometimes referred to as watchful waiting, involves repeated computerized tomography scans over a two-year period to monitor the progress of patients whose nodules are initially deemed likely to be benign. More...05 Jul 2015

Breath Test Developed to Diagnose Esophageal and Gastric Cancer
A breath test has been devised that can help doctors diagnose the early signs of esophageal and gastric cancer in minutes and the test can discriminate between malignant and benign esophageal cancer in patients for the first time. More...05 Jul 2015

New Diagnostic Tool on Horizon for Surgeons Treating Cancer Patients
Researchers have successfully developed a new tool that may enable surgeons to determine if a biopsy tissue is cancerous while their patients are still on the operating table, without routinely requiring microscope-based pathology analysis of the tissue. More...05 Jul 2015

Biomarkers Help Personalize Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treatment
In patients with metastatic colon cancer, response to first line chemotherapy is a strong predictor of overall survival, but currently, oncologists lack diagnostic tests to determine which chemotherapy regimen offers the greatest chance for response in an individual patient. More...29 Jun 2015
