ApoB Protein Testing More Accurately Predicts Heart Disease Risk than Testing for Cholesterol Alone

Emerging data suggest that testing for levels of Apolipoprotein B-100 (ApoB), a protein responsible for transporting fat molecules including LDL cholesterol - notoriously known as the "bad cholesterol" - throughout the body, may be a more precise indicator of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Single Blood Test Detects Various Tumor Types Less Invasively Than Tissue Biopsy

Around 40% of childhood cancers are pediatric solid tumors. Although pediatric cancer is uncommon, children can develop various tumor types in different body parts, making differential diagnosis difficult. Now, a newly developed liquid biopsy for solid tumors could be highly beneficial in cases where surgery or a tissue biopsy is not possible, potentially enabling more targeted diagnoses. More...

Genetic Test Predicts Whether Bowel Cancer Patients Can Benefit From Chemotherapy

Researchers have discovered that a genetic test, an established part of standard care in the UK and globally to predict patients' responses to other targeted cancer drugs, can also predict whether chemotherapy will work for bowel cancer patients. This discovery could aid in sparing patients from unnecessary toxicity and debilitating side effects by avoiding treatments that will not benefit them. More...
