CREDIT: TAKAO YASUI & ATSUSHI NATSUME A recent study by Nagoya University researchers revealed that microRNAs in urine could be a promising biomarker to diagnose brain tumors. Their findings, published in the journal ACS Applied Materials...

A...
February 15th 2021, Posted by IAN DEMSKY-MICHIGAN The test could have possibly avoided one third of unnecessary prostate cancer biopsies while failing to detect only a small number of cancers, according to a validation study of more than 1,500 patients. The MyProstateScore test measures levels of cancer-specific genes in a patient’s urine. It’s based on...
A simple non-invasive test can accurately detect womb cancer according to a proof of concept study by University of Manchester and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) scientists. The non-invasive test, which detects cancer by looking at urine or vaginal sample with a microscope, could have a major benefit for patients if adopted across the NHS. Currently,...
NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IMAGE: The set of sensing signals collected for each patient were then analyzed using ML to screen the patient for PCa. Seventy-six urine samples were measured three times, thereby generating 912 biomarker signals or 228 sets of sensing signals. We used RF and NN algorithms to analyze the multimarker signals....
By Rich Haridy A compelling new study from the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is suggesting a simple biomarker in urine may be an effective predictive test for bladder cancer, signaling the disease’s presence up to 10 years before clinical signs appear. Bladder cancer is a challenging type of cancer...
UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA A simple urine test under development for prostate cancer detection can now use urine samples collected at home – according to new research from University of East Anglia and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Scientists pioneered the test which diagnoses aggressive prostate cancer and predicts whether patients will require treatment...
by Queen Mary, University of London A urine test that can detect early stage pancreatic cancer has reached the final stage of validation before being developed for use with patients. If successful, this non-invasive urine test would be the first in the world to help clinicians detect the highly lethal cancer at an early stage—enabling...
by Mike Addelman, University of Manchester Urine testing may be as effective as the smear test at preventing cervical cancer, according to new research by University of Manchester scientists. The study, led by Dr. Emma Crosbie and published in BMJ Open, found that urine testing was just as good as the cervical smear at picking up high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus...
Scientists at Scripps Research have developed a urine diagnostic to detect the parasitic worms that cause river blindness, also called onchocerciasis, a tropical disease that afflicts 18 to 120 million people worldwide. Described in the journal ACS Infectious Diseases, the new, non-invasive test may provide an inexpensive method of determining in real time whether a...
