To determine whether a subject has cancer, particularly adenocarcinoma, more particularly thyroid cancer, and to detect advanced cancer efficiently with high accuracy. Determination of the presence or absence of cancer in a subject comprising measuring the titer of anti-WDR1 antibody and / or anti-...
Obesity increases the risk of diseases such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, and endometrial cancer. Calculate your body mass index (BMI) to determine if you are obese. BMI = Weight (kg) / Height^2 (m^2) <18.5: Underweight 18.5~24.9: Normal range 25~29.9: Pre-obesity...
Any unexplained change in the size, shape, or contour of your breast can be a sign of breast cancer. This includes swelling, shrinkage, or asymmetry that wasn’t previously there. It’s important to regularly observe your breasts to know what’s normal for you and to spot any ...
Often there appears to be a curve in which both low and high levels of a given micronutrient promote cancer. However, we do not have enough information to determine the dosage that aligns with the cancer-preventive sweet spot in the middle portion of the curve. It is not that we do not...
If your population is small, or its variance is unknown, there are steps you can still take to determine the right sample size. Common approaches here include conducting a small pilot study to gain initial estimates of the population variance, and taking a conservative approach by assuming a la...
Cancer receives a great deal of news media attention. Although approximately half of all US patients with cancer die of their illness or of related complications, it is unknown whether reports in the news media reflect this reality. To determine how cancer news coverage reports about cancer care...
After the presence and type of testicular cancer is determined, the next step is to determine how far the cancer has spread.This is called staging. Stage I cancer has not spread beyond the testicle. Stage II cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen. ...
Articles were coded to determine specifically whether they reported on (1) cancer survival (defined as ≥1 individual described as surviving or being cured of cancer); (2) cancer mortality (defined as ≥1 individual dead of cancer, dying of cancer, or given a terminal diagnosis); (3) ...
During a biopsy, a sample of tissue or fluid is taken and sent to a pathology lab, where it’s examined under a microscope. A pathologist can then determine if there are mesothelioma cells, and if so, which type of cells are present. We Can Help Patients With All Mesothelioma Cell Types...
of photography is similar to the ability to detect cancer, but it reduces the ability to determine positive results, which means that obese women have a 20% increase in false positive results compared to individuals of normal weight. But this does not mean that screening will miss many cancers...
