Cancer Screening

Expanded carrier screening relies on high-throughput approaches to catch disease-causing variants that may elude traditional screening

A single test can identify sources of genetic variation underlying inherited colon, endometrial, and other cancers

Although screening can lead to earlier detection, most patients are diagnosed when the cancer is advanced and often incurable

St. Jude researchers look at the combined effect of cancer treatments and inherited mutations in DNA-repair genes

How does your lab perform cancer screening and diagnostic testing?

Researchers say the test could eventually be used in national cancer screening programs

New UK study explores associations between symptoms, the presence of other diseases, spirometry, and emphysema in patients enrolled in the Lung Screen Uptake Trial

From a simple blood draw, microbial DNA may reveal who has cancer and which type, even at early stages

WPI researcher's new liquid biopsy chip, made of carbon nanotubes, snares circulating cancer cells with far greater sensitivity and could make it possible to detect early-stage tumors, predict the course of a cancer, and monitor the effects of therapy

City of Hope scientists are trying to change how doctors treat patients with solid tumors
