Simple Test Predicts Childhood Cancer Relapse

High-risk neuroblastoma, which occurs mostly in children under five, is treated with surgery and chemotherapy, and neuroblastomas currently rated low risk are just removed or left untreated while doctors 'wait and see', but a fraction of low risk tumors recur and ultimately kill. More...

Blood Marker Determines Response To Colorectal Cancer Drug

A marker has been identified that shows up in a blood test that determines which patients with colorectal cancer that has metastasized would benefit from receiving the drug cetuximab. More...

Novel Test Differentiates Malignant Prostate Cancer Grades

A promising new test has been introduced that detects prostate cancer more precisely than current tests, by identifying molecular changes in the prostate specific antigen (PSA) protein and can also differentiate between high-risk and low-risk disease, as well as benign conditions. More...

Characteristic features are present: Abundant eosinophils – criteria vary; one common definition is: > 20 eosinophils/0.24 mm2; Papillae are elongated; papillae reach into the top 1/3 of the epithelial layer; Basal cell hyperplasia; > 3 cells thick or >15% of epithelial thickness; Spongiosis (Photo courtesy of Michael Bonert / Wikimedia).

Potential Noninvasive Biomarker of EoE Disease Activity Identified

Researchers have identified a potential blood-based marker of disease activity for the severe and often painful food allergic disease eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) – possibly leading to a blood test, which could spare EoE patients, often children, the discomfort and risk of the currently used invasive endoscopic monitoring procedures.

Innovative Gene Testing Technology Finds Cancer Risks

A new method has been developed for identifying mutations and prioritizing variants in breast and ovarian cancer genes, which will not only reduce the number of possible variants for doctors to investigate, but also increase the number of patients that are properly diagnosed. More...

Combining Two Diagnostic Tests Drastically Reduces Cancer Miss Rates

The Papanicolaou (Pap) test is recommended for women between 21 and 65 years old as a screening test for cervical cancer. Women 30 and older who are negative on co-testing may wait as long as five years for their next testing, but physicians still recommend annual examinations. More...

Study Finds Excessive Testing Prescribed for Monoclonal Gammopathy Patients

A retrospective analysis has determined that the tests for M-protein that physicians routinely order to help diagnose and monitor patients with the age-related immune disorder monoclonal gammopathy (MG), often do not benefit the patient. Pathologists who performed the study have proposed an optimizing algorithm for more effective decision-making based on the evidence for clinical value. More...
