Novel Methylated DNA Markers Assay Detects Cancer

 An estimated 56,770 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the U.S. in 2019, and more than 45,750 will die from the disease. Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. and is expected to become the second leading cause by 2020. More...

Unhealthy Gut Promotes Spread of Breast Cancer

 Most breast cancers, 65% or more, are hormone receptor positive. That means their growth is fueled by a hormone, either estrogen or progesterone. The good news is that these types of cancers are likely to respond well to hormone therapy. More...
