Genetic Tests for Breast Cancer Detect More Mutations

A new study has demonstrated the ability of a commercial Hereditary Cancer test to detect 105% more mutations in cancer causing genes than conventional Breast Cancer testing alone.  More...

Zinc Isotope Test Helps Detect Early Breast Cancer

It may be possible to detect the early signs of breast cancer with a test that measures changes in zinc isotopes, as measurable changes in zinc isotope composition can be detected in breast tissue and could be used as a biomarker for early breast cancer.  More...

Panel of Long Noncoding RNAs Predicts Prospects for Leukemia Survival

Cancer researchers have identified a panel of 48 long noncoding RNAs that is indicative of a favorable outcome in older patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia and has the potential to aid clinicians in choosing the least toxic, most effective treatment for this disease, which has a three-year survival rate of only 5% to 15%.  More...

Gene Uncovered Associated with Aggressive Breast Cancer

A biomarker has been identified that is strongly associated with triple negative breast cancer, a highly aggressive carcinoma that often has early relapse and metastasis following chemotherapy.   More...
