Lung Cancer Diagnosis Improved By RNA Diagnostic Test From Paraffin
Jul 18, 2013
Knowing what type of lung cancer a patient has is critical to determine which drug will work best and which therapies are safest in the era of personalized medicine. Key to making that judgment is an adequate tumor specimen for the pathologist to determine the tumor's histology, a molecular description of a tumor based on the appearance of cells under a microscope...

One Step Closer To Understanding How To Control Cancer Cells Without Harming Healthy Ones
Jul 18, 2013
The nasty side effects of radiation and chemotherapy are well known: fatigue, hair loss and nausea, to name a few. Cancer treatment can seem as harsh as the disease because it can't differentiate healthy cells from cancerous cells, killing both. But what if there were a way to control or stop the growth of cancer cells without harming other cells? Brandeis biologist Michael T... Read More
Cause Of Cancer Spread: Discovery Of Hybrid Cells In Human Melanoma Revealed By CSI-Style DNA Fingerprinting
Jul 18, 2013
The University of Colorado Cancer Center along with Yale University and the Denver Crime Lab report in the journal PLoS ONE the first proof of cancer's ability to fuse with blood cells in a way that gives cancer the ability to travel, allowing previously stationary cancer cells to enter the bloodstream and seed sites of metastasis around the body...
