Cancer test predicts treatment outcome Researchers have announced a new tool in the fight against cancer, with the development of a world-first test that will direct treatment choices for patients with some forms of blood cancer.
Gene therapy doubles survival in recurrent glioblastoma An experimental gene therapy essentially doubled the overall survival of patients with recurrent glioblastoma compared to the current standard of care.
Genes of colon cancer recurrence differs among blacks, whites and Asians The genetic makeup of colon cancer tumors and survival rates for patients with the disease differ by race, according to a study. Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women with more than 93,000 cases estimated to be diagnosed in 2015. Researchers have long known that blacks develop colon cancer at an earlier age and blacks with colon cancer are at higher risk of dying than whites.
