Blood Test Can Identify Prostate Cancer Patients Who Are Not Likely to Respond to EnzalutamideAlice Goodman
CTCs are rarecancercells that tumors shed in the blood. They've been looked at before inprostate cancer, but only in its later stages. "No one, until now, has looked at whether CTC counts can be used right at the beginning, when a man first presents with metastatic prostatecancer, to ...
"These blood tests, also called liquid biopsies, have emerged as a minimally-invasive alternative to conventional biopsy for interrogating the prostate tumor genome. Liquid biopsies have demonstrated strong congruence with tumor biopsies, whilst simultaneously encapsulating the genomic complexity often seen i...
An international collaborative study between Lawson Health Research Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the Royal Marsden and Epic Sciences is one of the first to demonstrate that a blood test can predict how patients with advanced prostate cancer will respond to specific treatments, lead...
Study leader professor Johann de Bono said: “At the moment assess in the clinic how men with advanced prostate cancer are responding to their treatment. Measuring the levels of circulating tumour cells in blood samples could be a relatively quick and effective way to test men in the ...

Is there a blood test for colon cancer? Your doctor may order blood tests to look for signs of colon cancer No blood test can detect colon cancer. However, your doctor may order blood tests to get a picture of your overall health, as well as use other screening methods to look for sig...
Cancer cell glycocalyx is a major line of defence against immune surveillance. However, how specific physical properties of the glycocalyx are regulated on a molecular level, contribute to immune evasion and may be overcome through immunoengineering must be resolved. Here we report how cancer-associat...
A blood test, performed when metastatic prostate cancer is first diagnosed, can predict which patients are likely to respond to treatment and survive the longest. It can help providers decide which patients should receive standard treatment versus who might stand to benefit from riskier, more aggress...
Prostate cancer screening trouble Prostate cancer screening is controversial because it often leads to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of cancers that would have otherwise been harmless if left undetected and untreated. Screening for prostate cancer typically uses ablood testthat measures levels of a protein...
