Ascitic Fluid Lactoferrin Investigated in Liver Cirrhosis Patients

Although elevated levels of lactoferrin provide a biomarker for inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer, the clinical significance of these elevated levels in ascitic fluid of patients with ascites caused by liver cirrhosis is limited. More...

Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer Recurrence Proves Highly Sensitive

When diagnosed early, before cancer has spread, the relative five-year survival rate for colorectal cancer (CRC) is 90%, but only approximately four out of 10 CRC cases are detected early. More...

It shows sensitive and specific fluorescence from mutant IDH1 (Photo courtesy of Nagoya University).

Novel Device Enables Rapid Identification of Brain Cancer Type

A device has been developed for quick, accurate identification of a mutation strongly associated with a cancer that affects the central nervous system, potentially enabling accurate removal of the entire tumor during an operation. More...
