A four-biomarker blood panel of aminopeptidase N (ANPEP), polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR), CA19-9, and thrombospondin-2 (THBS2) enhanced the detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ...

Researchers at Tezpur University in Assam, India, working with scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, have identified distinct chemical signatures in blood that could help detect ...

Cancer continues to be one of the world's top causes of death, partly because of delayed discovery of the disease. But according to a recently released study, a simple blood test may be able to ...

Using a single blood sample, multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests screen for numerous types of cancers, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic and prostate cancers. Trials are underway ...

Of all the types of breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive and lacks specific therapies. TNBC also is more likely to metastasize, or travel through the blood stream ...

For years, it has been one of the most tantalizing ideas in medicine: One day, a simple blood test will detect nascent cancers — allowing doctors to intervene when tumors may be easier to treat. A ...
