Ovarian Cancer Biomarker Predicts Therapy Response

Despite months of aggressive treatment involving surgery and chemotherapy, about 85% of women with high-grade widespread ovarian cancer will have a recurrence of their disease. This leads to further treatment, but never to a cure. About 15% of patients, however, do not have a recurrence and most of those women remain disease free for years. More...

Tumor Markers Associated with H. Pylori Infection

Helicobacter pylori infection is a major cause of several cancers such as gastric, pancreatic and lung. The relationship between H. pylori and tumor markers continues to remain unclear. As one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, cancer represents a major detrimental public health problem worldwide. More...
