Genetic screening for prostate cancer in GP surgeries could be effective at picking up otherwise undiagnosed cases of the disease, a new pilot study shows. Researchers ‘barcoded’ men for their genetic risk of prostate cancer by testing each for 130 DNA changes – and gave those at higher risk follow-up checks. Their study found that...

Eye injury sets immune cells on surveillance to protect the lens
by Thomas Jefferson University 3D surface structure imaging at one day post-corneal wounding shows immune cells (CD45+, green) migrating along within ciliary zonule fibrils (MAGP1+, white) that extend along the surface of the matrix capsule that surrounds the lens (perlecan+, red). Also seen are the ciliary zonules (white) that link the lens to the ciliary...

New study shows cost effectiveness of early cancer surveillance
Research shows cost effectiveness of early cancer screening for patients who have a high risk of developing cancer HUNTSMAN CANCER INSTITUTE SALT LAKE CITY – New research published today in the journal Pediatric Blood and Cancershows how earlycancer screening and surveillance in patients with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) results in additional years of life, and is cost effective for third-party payers. LFS is an inherited genetic condition that greatly increases the risk of developing several types of cancer....
