Prognostic Value of Blood Cell Counts Investigated
The prognosis and treatment of gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy mainly depends on classification of malignant tumors (TNM) stage system. However, the prognosis of gastric cancer patients could be various even with the same tumor stage. More...29 Oct 2018

CD MicroRNA Marks Subtypes with Differing Outcomes
Crohn’s disease (CD), one of the primary inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract resulting from an aberrant immune response to the enteric microbiota in a genetically susceptible host. More...25 Oct 2018

Novel Technology Enables Detection of Early-Stage Cancer
Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is often fatal because most cases are not diagnosed until they are so advanced that surgical intervention is no longer possible. To improve outcomes a blood test has been developed to detect lung cancer earlier in the disease. More...24 Oct 2018

Epigenomic Method Developed to Detect Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancers are typically diagnosed at late stage where disease prognosis is poor as exemplified by a 5-year survival rate of 8.2%. Earlier diagnosis would be beneficial by enabling surgical resection or earlier application of therapeutic regimens. More...24 Oct 2018

Test Identifies More Treatable Cancer Mutations Than Biopsies
Standard of care therapies that target specific mutations have changed the face of cancer treatment, and screening for such mutations, which can be drivers of both disease growth and treatment resistance. This can often be done with a biopsy of tumor tissue, but sometimes that tissue is hard to obtain or does not have sufficient DNA for analysis. More...22 Oct 2018

Novel Fecal Biomarker Found for Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a lethal disease that has been rising in incidence during recent decades, placing an increasingly important burden on the healthcare system worldwide and gut microbial dysbiosis contributes to the development of this deadly disease. More...17 Oct 2018
