Cancer cells (and cells with change that are predisposed to cancer) are graded with a "Gleason" score. In short, a score of 1 is something to be aware of. A score of 7 or up is considered lethal. Ohio Health and Science University Cancer Institute has come up with a new method for ...
Analysis of PSA in blood has long been used for early diagnosis and for monitoring of biochemical recurrence, but is flawed with a significant number of false positives.9 These limitations drive ongoing attempts at developing minimally invasive procedures to interrogate cancer-derived macromolecules in ...
Approximately 1.7 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in the United States in 2017. Around 600,000 deaths were expected during that year,according tothe American Cancer Society. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Qualityaddsthat the direct economic impact of cancer is around $80 bill...
Multiple treatment approaches have proven ineffective against the intractable diseases of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and HER-2 negative metastatic breast cancer (HER-2 negative MBC). The safety of bevacizumab, a novel anti-VEGF drug, remains a point of contention in these high-risk breas...

Different types of biomarkers have been studied in PC as tools for the analysis of the risk of progression, with the potential for application in the accurate identification of candidates for active surveillance (AS), adjuvant therapy and/or new therapy modalities. We recently published a review ...
levels of salt (0, 100, 200, 400 mM NaCl) in half strength of Hoagland’s nutrient solution for three weeks. After one week of salt stress, the data of OJIP transients were obtained using a hand-held chlorophyll fluorescence meter (FluorPen FP100, Photon Systems Instruments (PSI), Czech ...
1. Introduction The clinical management of Barrett's esophagus has highlighted the need for accurate predictors of disease progression to esophageal cancer. The prognosis for individuals with esophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) still remains inadequate with a survival rate of 9–15%; however, some cancer ...
The integration of liquid biopsies has become a common tool in cancer prognostication as they are non-invasive, can monitor tumor responses during treatment, and are cost-effective [20]. Beyond PSA, non-invasive blood-based biomarkers such as circulating micro-RNA (miRNA), cell-free DNA (cfDNA...
