RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered a new genetic code that deploys a cluster of cells that attack healthy organs and overpowers the ...

When researchers look for potential cancer therapy targets, they typically go after protein-coding genes that participate in disease progression. Disrupt them and negate whatever role they play in ...

Cancer is most treatable in its early stages, so finding innovative and non-invasive methods to diagnose cancer early on is crucial for fighting the disease. Liquid biopsies, which require just a ...

Victoria Hodson loves to play hockey with her kids and ride horses with her 11-year-old daughter. And she loves that her body doesn't betray her. With clothes on, no one would be able to tell that ...

Profiling noncoding repetitive RNA sequences improves the sensitivity of liquid biopsy diagnostic tests for early stage cancers. As cancer is most treatable in its early stages, developing diagnostic ...

We created an annotated corpus of tumor morphology and topography mentions consisting of 1,101 documents. We combined it with the CANTEMIST corpus (Cancer Text Mining Shared Task). Specifically, we ...

As a PhD student at the University of Münster in the early 2000s, Sven Diederichs would bike three kilometers each morning to a compact lab in a brick building on the hospital campus. There, he’d ...

The race for early cancer detection is one that physicians have been running for millennia. In one of humanity’s oldest surviving medical texts, the ancient Egyptian physician Imhotep described 46 ...
