MicroRNAs Predict Likelihood of Breast Cancer Metastasis
The discovery that breast cancer patients who experienced quick relapses tended to have low levels of the microRNA miR-21 and high levels of the microRNA miR-205 in their tumor tissues suggests that measurement of these two biomarkers could identify women at risk of metastasis. More...22 Jan 2014

Determination of Circulating CPN Cleavage Peptides Enables Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
The concentration of circulating peptides produced by CPN cleavage reflects the CPN activity in tumors, and analysis of these biomarkers demonstrates potential for the noninvasive and early diagnosis of breast cancer. More...20 Jan 2014

Molecular Diagnostics Optimized for Breast Cancer Tissue Samples
A prognostic 70-gene profile assay for early-stage breast cancer has been available for fresh tissue, and improvements in ribonucleic acid processing have enabled microarray diagnostics for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. More...16 Jan 2014
