Representative imaging with [89Zr]Zr-girentuximab. Credit: The Lancet Oncology (2024). DOI: 10.1016/S1470-2045(24)00402-9 A new study led by investigators from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has demonstrated a new, non-invasive imaging technique can accurately detect clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer. The findings, published in The Lancet Oncology, could greatly reduce the number...

New evidence casts doubt on a much-hyped blood test for early cancer detection
August 7, 2024 by British Medical Journal Credit: Karolina Grabowska from PexelsNew evidence published by The BMJ today casts doubt on a much-hyped blood test for the NHS that promises to detect more than 50 types of cancer. The test, called Galleri, has been hailed as a “ground-breaking and potentially life-saving advance” by its maker,...

Researchers develop machine-learning tool to detect cancer earlier via liquid biopsy
by City of Hope National Medical Center Researchers at City of Hope and Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) have developed and tested an innovative machine-learning approach that could one day enable the earlier detection of cancer in patients by using smaller blood draws. The study was published today in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Credit: TGenResearchers...

Engineers report advance in rapid cancer detection and monitoring
by Laurie Fickman, University of Houston Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain When it comes to cancer detection, size matters. Traditional diagnostic imaging cannot detect tumors smaller than a certain size, causing missed opportunities for early detection and treatment. Circulating tumor exosomes are especially small cancer biomarkers and easy to miss. These nanovesicles are composed of molecules that...

Cancer detection with sugar molecules
Like a spaceship, the complex sugar molecule (coloured) lands exactly on the tumor protein galectin-1, which here looks like a meteorite and is shown in black and white. Galectins are a family of proteins that have become a promising source of cancer research in recent years. A representative thereof is galectin-1. It sits on...
