On Nov. 10,2014, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that it will fund low-dose helical computerized tomography (CT) screening for those at high risk for lung cancer, specifically those aged 55-74 who are defined at...
Earlier this year, the New York Times published an article on follow-up of solid cancers with blood test, a method sometimes referred to as “liquid biopsy.” In that article, noted NYT science reporter Andrew Pollack wrote: “For all the potential of liquid...
Circulating tumor cells (CTC) or sentinel tumor cells eventually find a fertile ground to grow new tumors. To do this, they need to reverse the EMT process and become colony-forming cells again. This process is simply called the Mesenchymal...
How exactly do tumors migrate to other parts of the body? This animation shows the journey these deadly cells travel to sow new tumors in parts of the body distant from where the original tumor took root. We call...
When a cancerous tumor is diagnosed in the early stages – before the tumor has a chance to metastasize, or colonize, other healthy organs and tissues – patients typically have a very good chance of survival. Unfortunately, when noticeable...
