Urine-Based Liquid Biopsy Test Detects Urothelial Carcinoma

Urine cytology, which is widely used to screen for bladder cancer, has high specificity but lacks sensitivity, especially for low-grade cancers. Cystoscopy, while more accurate than cytology, is an invasive procedure with added costs and potential complications for the patient. More...

Lymphocytic Infiltration Explored as Biomarker for Stable Colorectal Tumors

Identifying stage II patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) at higher risk of progression is a clinical priority in order to optimize the advantages of adjuvant chemotherapy while avoiding unnecessary toxicity. A remarkable feature of CRC is the difference in prognosis of patients diagnosed at early versus late stages of the disease. More...

Hematological Biomarkers Predict Prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an inflammation-related cancer, where non-resolving inflammation contributes to its development and progression. Peripheral inflammatory cells have been shown to be associated with the prognosis of various types of cancer. More...

HPV, p16 Offers Different Prognostic Clues in Oropharyngeal Cancer

Human papillomavirus infection (HPV infection) is an infection caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a DNA virus from the Papillomaviridae family. About 90% of HPV infections cause no symptoms and resolve spontaneously within two years. More...
