Methylated DNA Blood Test Monitors Breast Cancer Progress and Treatment Response
An advanced assay that measures DNA hypermethylatation in blood samples can diagnose advanced breast cancer, as well as monitor tumor burden and treatment response in women with metastatic breast tumors. More...21 Apr 2014
Imaging and Blood Test Work Together to Optimize Evaluation of Ovarian Cancer Risk
A new US Food and Drug Administration-cleared blood test that measures the levels of five proteins and then uses a proprietary algorithm and software to calculate a single risk score has been the topic of recent research comparing the test to two imaging modalities. More...15 Apr 2014
American Diagnostic Laboratory Offers Genetic Test for Calreticlin Gene Mutations
A new diagnostic test that detects mutations in the gene encoding for the protein calreticulin is expected to help physicians identify patients with certain types of myeloproliferative neoplasms, which are blood cancers that have the potential to evolve into acute leukemia. More...14 Apr 2014
