How a Tablespoon of Blood Could Transform Cancer Treatment
Researchers have developed a new blood test that provides unprecedented insight into a patient’s cancer make-up, potentially allowing doctors to better select treatment options that will improve outcomes.

News
Common Cancer Gene Regulates RNA “Dark Matter”
A new study has shown that a key genetic mutation that occurs early on in cancer alters RNA “dark matter” and causes the release of previously unknown RNA biomarkers.

News
New Marker Efficiently Detects Circulating Tumor Cells
UCF researchers have found a new way to track metastatic cancer cells in the body, which in the future could help identify cancer earlier and give patients more treatment options.

News
Highly Accurate, Non-Invasive Test for Major Liver Diseases Created
The liquid biopsy test, which uses two circulating proteins, was found to be highly accurate, sensitive and specific for both NASH and liver fibrosis.

News
Splice Variant Biomarkers Identified for Most Common Renal Cell Cancer
Researchers have identified biomarkers for clear cell renal cell carcinoma and have developed a tool to indicate which patients are at high risk of poor outcomes.

News
Liquid Biopsy Detects Breast Cancer DNA in Just Five Hours
Researchers have developed a novel, automated liquid biopsy test prototype, designed to detect cancer DNA in the blood of patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer within five hours.

News
