Assessing ‘Stickiness’ of Tumor Cells Could Improve Cancer Prognosis

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego has created a device that measures how “sticky” cancer cells are, which could improve prognostic evaluation of patient tumors. The device is built with a microfluidic chamber that sorts cells by their physical ability to adhere to their environment. Researchers found that weakly...

Taking uncertainty out of cancer prognosis

An analysis of breast cancer patient gene reveals that copy number alterations (CNAs) within cancer-causing genes is more likely to accurately indicate the severity of the disease (shown) than simply measuring how many of those genes. A cancer diagnosis tells you that you have cancer, but how that cancer will progress is a terrifying uncertainty...
