New assay may allow screening for 'actionable' gene mutations in routinely acquired archival biopsies...
PSMA PET/CT clearly differentiates prostate cancer from benign tissue
Using nuclear medicine, German researchers have found a way to accurately differentiate cancerous tissue from healthy tissue in prostate cancer patients.
Harnessing the power of genomic sequencing augments diagnosis and treatment of lymphoid cancer
A new study has established that hybrid-capture sequencing is the method of choice for sequencing “actionable” gene mutations across the most common forms of lymphoid cancer.
