Credit: NIH Image Gallery Researchers at the University of East Anglia have helped develop a new blood test to detect prostate cancer with greater accuracy than current methods. New research shows that the Prostate Screening EpiSwitch (PSE) blood test is 94 percent accurate—beating the currently used prostate-specific...
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON A team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have successfully combined genomics and machine learning in the quest to develop accessible tests that allow earlier detection of cancer. In a study published this week in Science Translational Medicine and led by Muhammed Murtaza, professor of surgery at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, researchers used a...
The test could replace the need for lumbar punctures and brain scans. TEK IMAGE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY via Getty Images When doctors need to confirm an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, they often turn to a combination of brain imaging and cell analysis. Both have their downsides. The latter involves a lumbar puncture, an invasive and painful procedure that’s...
