22-Gene Genomic Classifier Validated in Recurrent Prostate Cancer Patients

When prostate cancer has been detected or has returned following initial treatment with surgery, radiation therapy and/or hormone therapy, it is said to be recurrent or relapsed. Treatment of recurrent prostate cancer depends on what treatment a patient has previously received and the extent of the cancer. More...

Plasma or Urine Liquid Biopsy Tests May Guide Colorectal Cancer Treatment

A recent paper suggested that liquid biopsy examination of blood or urine could aid in evaluating the effectiveness of therapy for colorectal cancers that had begun to metastasize beyond the site of the original tumor. More...

Proteogenomic and Metabolomic Studies Characterize Human Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. Glioblastoma forms from cells called astrocytes that support nerve cells. Glioblastoma can occur at any age, but tends to occur more often in older adults. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting and seizures. More...

Study Confirms Value of the MyProstateScore Urine Test for Prostate Cancer Screening

A recent paper confirmed that the MyProstateScore test could be used with confidence to detect clinically significant (grade group higher than 2) prostate cancers when compared to commonly used prostate specific antigen-based diagnostic screening. More...

Next Generation Sequencing Finds More Gene Mutations for Leukemia

Myeloid malignancies are characterized by uncontrolled proliferation and/or defects in differentiation of abnormal myeloid progenitor cells. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are often thought to be precursors to a higher grade myeloid malignancies, namely acute myeloid leukemia (AML). More...

Exome Sequencing Identified Pathogenic Variants in Cerebral Palsy Patients

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Signs and symptoms vary among people and over time. Often, symptoms include poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles, and tremors. More...

Analysis of Cell-free DNA in the Blood May Replace Examination of Biopsy Specimens for Disease Diagnosis

A recent paper described a blood-based liquid biopsy method for detection of a wide variety of diseases including several types of cancer. More...
