Pathway launches first liquid biopsy non-invasive cancer screening test kit
Pathway Genomics has announced the launch of first ever liquid biopsy non-invasive cancer screening test kit for testing cancer in its early stages. Available in two different variants – CancerIntercept Detect and…
Inexpensive generic drugs could help reduce breast cancer deaths
Two studies have established that inexpensive generic drugs currently used to treat different conditions hold the potential of reducing breast cancer deaths across the globe. The studies, published in the The Lancet,…
Progesterone could help treat breast cancer
Scientists have long known that a breast cancer patient had tumours with progesterone receptors had a better outlook, but were unable to pinpoint the exact reason behind this. Now a new research…
Aspirin may block growth of breast cancer tumours
Aspirin, which has already been laboratory tested as being a cancer tumour growth inhibitor in case of colon, gastrointestinal, prostate, and other cancers, has proved its mettle once again by effectively blocking…
Scientists may have found brain tumor stem cells’ Achilles’ heel
Doctors and medical professionals will know how hard it is to treat some brain tumours – even if they are surgically removed, zapped by radiation or infiltrated by chemotherapy drugs, they find…
Researchers discover how cancer tricks the lymphatic system into spreading tumors
Researchers have discovered how cancer tricks the lymphatic system into spreading tumors – a mechanism, which researchers say, involves cancer cells disguising themselves as immune cells to infiltrate the lymphatic system and…
Suspected tumour in brain turned out to be an embryonic twin
What was suspected as a tumour in the brain of a 26-year-old Indian woman, turned out to be an embryonic twin complete with bone, hair and teeth. Yamini Karanam, a PHD student…
Tumour-only genetic sequencing misguiding cancer treatment in 50% patients
Researchers have revealed that tumour-only genetic sequencing isn’t revealing the true picture thereby misguiding cancer treatment in almost 50 per cent of patients and to overcome this huge gap comparison to a…
UBC researchers target protein associated with aggressive, hard-to-treat tumours
University of British Columbia have showed through their latest research that it is possible to inhibit a specific protein associated with aggressive, hard-to-treat tumours thereby slowing down their ability to spread to…
