prostate cancer - search results

Researchers say the new approach offers the potential to improve outcomes in patients who respond poorly to current standard of care for cancers, including those of the breast, colon, bladder, prostate, and lung.

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists have discovered that an antibiotic developed in the 1950s and largely superseded by newer drugs, effectively targets and kills cancer cells that have a common genetic defect in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.

Early-stage companies advance precision medicine by applying AI, clinical genomics, and  other new technologies.

Precision medicine startups push forward to train their systems to provide connections and insights from datasets too large and complex for manual analysis.

The AVENIO ctDNA Surveillance Kit is an NGS liquid biopsy assay that is specially designed to enable researchers to monitor tumor burden in lung and colorectal cancer over time, as well as to assess for minimal residual disease (MRD). This assay contains 471 frequently mutated regions associated with the presence of disease across 197 genes, including those in the U.S. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines.¹

The AVENIO ctDNA Expanded Kit is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) liquid biopsy tumor profiling assay for identifying genomic aberrations derived from solid tumors. This panel contains 77 genes, including those currently in the U.S. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines.¹ This panel also contains emerging biomarkers relevant to clinical research.

For the first time, a deep-learning approach has been used to predict disease-associated metal-relevant site mutations in metalloproteins, providing a new platform to tackle human diseases.

The researchers found that combining anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 immunotherapies in CD73 knockout mice stifled glioblastoma tumor growth and increased survival.

LumosVar can detect not only cancerous DNA from an archival sample, but also differentiate the normal DNA that may surround the tumor sample
