• Global Collaboration Enables Headway On Rare Neuroendocrine Tumors

    Clinical Research News | Researchers in Madrid recently wrapped up the largest-yet genomic study of rare neuroendocrine tumors, known as pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, which identified a seemingly perfect panel of metastatic disease markers as well as a group of patients who could potentially benefit from immunotherapy. The objective here is a better means to predict, at the time of diagnosis of the primary tumor, whether patients will be immediately affected by cancer spread.

  • Liquid Biopsies Could Help Speed Up Lung Cancer Clinical Trials

    Clinical Research News | Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) holds potential as a biomarker in lung cancer clinical trials as an added and easier-to-monitor endpoint to survival rates for measuring treatment efficacy. This was one of the key findings of her most recent work, where ctDNA was also shown to outperform clinical responses assessed on CT scans in the prediction of survival.
