Cancer Diagnostics – Highlights

Liquid Biopsies in Cancer content piece image

Liquid Biopsies in Cancer

Download this infographic to explore what liquid biopsies can tell us, how they compare to traditional surgical biopsies, and challenges in their development.

Liquid Biopsy: Guide, Applications and Techniques

Liquid biopsies are tests conducted on blood samples that examine biomarkers shed by tumors, such as cancer cells or pieces of tumor DNA. The data from liquid biopsies can be used in place of or alongside that of traditional surgical biopsies. In this article, we review the theory behind liquid biopsies and their applications in cancer medicine.

Exploiting Exosomes for Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Evidence is mounting for exosomes playing a central role in many aspects of cancer biology. As researchers start to unravel the secrets of these elusive little vesicles, this is opening a host of exciting new opportunities to tackle cancer – from non-invasive diagnostics to innovative new therapeutics.

Circulating Tumor Cells: Detection and Applications

In this article we explore circulating tumor cells (CTCs) asking what they are, why they are so valuable and how they are being used in modern oncology.

Exosomes in Cancer

Explore the role that exosomes play in the development of cancer, learn how they can be utilized for cancer diagnostics, and discover potential therapeutic applications.

Cancer Diagnostics – News and Features

Artificial Intelligence Predicts Treatment Outcome in Ovarian Cancer Patients

A model based on artificial intelligence is able to predict the therapy outcome in 80% of ovarian cancer patients. The tool, named IRON (Integrated Radiogenomics for Ovarian Neoadjuvant therapy), analyzes various patient clinical features.

Answers to Unsolved Rare Disease Mysteries May Be on the Horizon

In this opinion piece, Neil Ward explores how advances in sequencing could help to provide new insights for rare disease patients.

Liquid Biopsy Improves Cancer Detection in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Patients

A liquid biopsy that identifies cell-free DNA as a marker of cancer could improve cancer detection in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which carries an almost 100 percent lifetime risk of developing cancer.

Diabetes Can Age the Eye by 30 Years, Finds Protein Study

A team of scientists at Stanford University has taken a look inside the human eye with a new level of detail by using cutting-edge molecular analysis.

Novel Hydrogel Finds New Chemical Antibodies in Days

A new method for selecting aptamers, or "chemical antibodies," created by Penn State engineers takes only days to complete, instead of the months typically needed for traditional methods.

Association for Molecular Pathology Publishes Best Practice Recommendations for Liquid Biopsy Assay Validations

The Association for Molecular Pathology has published a set of 13 best practice recommendations for validating and reporting clinical circulating tumor DNA or liquid biopsy assays and their related scientific publications.
