New method detects residual cancer cells
Amplicon fusion sites polymerase chain reaction (AFS-PCR) assay can detect and quantify human neuroblastoma cells in human blood and bone marrow samples.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
DNA overexpression may signal cancer
Certain DNA sequences were never suspected of having a role in cancer—until now. Cells in the most common type of solid tumor have now been found to feature massive overexpression of these sequences.
PML presence could be benign sign
The easy-to-detect tumor suppressor PML may help distinguish benign tumors from cancers, now that researchers have found benign cells produce the PML molecule and display abundant PML bodies.
Body’s protein can stall tumor spread
A naturally occurring protein inhibits tumor growth and metastasis into secondary organs and has the potential to be developed into an anticancer drug, scientists have found.
Real-time metabolic imaging for prostate tumors
A new imaging technology that can show the metabolic process within a prostate tumor may give oncology clinicians immediate feedback as to whether to continue with “watchful waiting” or pursue treatment.
Risk of venous thromboembolism
Treating patients with the recombinant monoclonal antibody bevacizumab carries a significant risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), a meta-analysis has shown.
