Zinc Isotope Test Helps Detect Early Breast Cancer

It may be possible to detect the early signs of breast cancer with a test that measures changes in zinc isotopes, as measurable changes in zinc isotope composition can be detected in breast tissue and could be used as a biomarker for early breast cancer.  More...

Panel of Long Noncoding RNAs Predicts Prospects for Leukemia Survival

Cancer researchers have identified a panel of 48 long noncoding RNAs that is indicative of a favorable outcome in older patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia and has the potential to aid clinicians in choosing the least toxic, most effective treatment for this disease, which has a three-year survival rate of only 5% to 15%.  More...
