(SMRP):The MESOMARK assay is the first FDA approved blood test for mesothelioma. It is used in combination with other tests to confirm an accurate diagnosis. It is the hope that someday it could serve as a screening tool for patients who are at increased risk of developing mesothelioma...

Songwriter Ferguson commented to BMI that "The Office" theme itself mirrors the mood of the sitcom: "It's a main title that goes against type; it has this vulnerability, this yearning to it that soon explodes into this overdone optimism which then gets crushed — which is pretty much what...
Tumorigenesis initiated by repeated cell attrition and repopulation, as confirmed in different genetic models, has parallels in human cancers, exemplified in therapy-induced secondary malignancies and myelodysplastic syndromes in patients with congenital bone marrow failure syndromes. Here, we aim to review...
Apoptosis has been established as a mechanism of anti-cancer defense. Members of the BCL-2 family are critical mediators of apoptotic cell death in health and disease, often found to be deregulated in cancer and believed to lead to the survival of malign
However, Hill acknowledged that more complex dose–response relationships may exist, and modern studies have confirmed that a monotonic dose–response curve is an overly simplistic represen- tation of most causal relationships. In fact, most dose– response curves are non-linear and can even vary ...
Although an asbestos signature was present in pre-neoplastic tissues, some mice did not develop a tumor but maintained the predisposition to promote tumor growth highlighting the importance of the environment. This is also supported by the observation that <50% of human mesothelioma grow in NOD/SCI...
A suspected pulmonary embolism on a conventional CT image (left (or top), red arrow) is confirmed on a spectral CT by the presence of a corresponding wedge-shaped perfusion defect (right (or bottom), red outline). The spectral image was reconstructed when conventional CT images were ...
