Panel of Gut Bacteria Diagnostic for Colorectal Cancer

Reanalysis and standardization of data from several published studies has enabled a team of molecular microbiologists to identify a panel of gut microflora that is more prevalent in the stools of patients with colorectal cancer than it is in the stools of normal individuals. More...

Rapid Assay Identifies Genetic Mutations Associated with NSCLC

A rapid blood-based diagnostic assay is now available to identify genetic mutations associated with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is the first step in establishing personalized treatment for the patient. More...

Biomarker Identified for Aggressive Early Stage Cancer

Breast cancer begins as anomalous cells that divide out of control, usually in the milk ducts and in almost all cases, a patient does not succumb to the initial cancer but to the secondary tumors after the cancer has spread. More...

Blood Test Could Detect Abusive Head Trauma in Infants

A blood test has been developed and refined that could help clinicians identify infants who may have had bleeding of the brain as a result of abusive head trauma, sometimes referred to as shaken baby syndrome. More...
