Blood Test Detects New Breast Cancer Subtype

A blood test has been developed that detects when the most common form of breast cancer has become resistant to treatment could double the average time it takes for the disease to progress, from around two and a half to around six months. More...

New Method Simplifies Blood Biomarker Discovery and Analysis

A new gene expression analysis method has been developed to widen the usage of blood in biomarker discovery and analysis and the majority of the cells are erythrocytes that carry oxygen, causing 50% to 80% enrichment of globin ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules among all blood RNA. More...
