Cancer Biomarker

The US National Cancer Institute has give the "Outstanding Investigator Award" to Professor Arul Chinnaiyan, from the University of Michigan, and $6.5 million in funding over seven years, to identify cancer biomarkers to improve diagnosis and develop new targeted therapies.

The researchers believe that detection of the anti-cancer protein LHPP as a biomarker may allow clinicians to provide better treatment options.

By mimicking the complexity of human tumors with a research tool, the scientists were able to identify a "biomarker" which could serve as an indication as to which patients would better respond to certain drugs, Xinhua news agency reported.

An automated technology has been developed by researchers that combine imaging with digital analysis and machine learning to help physicians detect melanoma at its early stages.

Scientists have developed a new low-cost, portable laboratory on a smartphone that can analyse several samples at once to catch a cancer biomarker with 99 per cent accuracy, producing lab quality results.

In a major step towards faster and convenient delivery of medical tests, Washington State University researchers have developed a low-cost, portable laboratory on a smartphone that can analyse several samples at once to catch a cancer biomarker, producing lab quality results.

US researchers have identified a new biomarker which revealed that known and unknown exposure to second-hand smoke may lead to an increased risk of mortality in non-smokers.

Using a patient's individual tumor biomarkers to determine the best treatment can improve success rates, studies showed on Saturday.

A simple finger prick blood test may be used to diagnose cancer, say scientists who have developed a new technology to detect disease biomarkers in the form of nucleic acids, the building blocks of all living organisms.

Researchers have identified a biomarker that detects the most common lung cancer in its earliest stage.

A vitamin D deficiency has now been linked to aggressive prostate cancer. "Vitamin D deficiency could be a biomarker of advanced prostate tumour progression in large segments of the general population," said Adam B. Murphy, Northwestern University's Feinberg...

Biological indicators, also known as biomarkers are needed to examine whether exposure to SHS(SHS) can cause lung cancer or not.
