DNA-Based Test Determines Degree Of Liver Fibrosis

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) accounts for the majority of liver disease burden in the Western world. Liver biopsy remains the gold standard test to accurately stage fibrosis in patients with NAFLD, but it is invasive and carries risks. More...

Study Identifies Mechanism Underlying a Form of Sensory Nerve Damage

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that underlies induction of peripheral neuropathy (PN) by the chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel, raising the prospects for developing treatments for this and possibly also for certain other forms of PN. The work may also lead to companion diagnostics to identify patients who would benefit from these new therapies. More...

Prostate Needle Biopsy Biomarker Predicts Tumor Aggressiveness

A new study demonstrates the ability to measure and evaluate biomarkers from ribonucleic acid expression data obtained from prostate needle biopsies. The data demonstrate a high concordance in the genomic signatures between needle biopsy samples and post-prostatectomy tissue samples.   More...

Gene Test Identifies Patients with High Risk Colon Cancer

Proprietary microarray-based gene signature marker can identify patients' recurrence risk within five years after surgery and guides adjuvant chemotherapy treatment decisions. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality among men and women in the USA and the five-year survival rate for individuals with colon cancer is 64.9%.   More...

Three Gene Urine Test for Prostate Cancer May Eliminate Invasive Biopsies

A real-time PCR assay that measures levels of RNA generated by three prostate cancer-linked genes may someday replace classical detection methods for this disease and eliminate the need for invasive biopsies.  More...

Improved “Liquid Biopsy” Technique Enhances Tumor DNA Detection

An improved method has been devised to significantly increase the sensitivity of a technique to identify and sequence DNA from cancer cells circulating in a person's blood. The hope is that such "liquid biopsies" of easily obtained blood samples could one day replace the need to surgically obtain tumor tissue for examination.  More...
