Minimally invasive prostate cancer detection test using fish probes.

The ability to test for and detect prostate cancer with minimal invasiveness has the potential to reduce unnecessary prostate biopsies. A recent study was conducted as part of a clinical investigation for the development of an FISH probe panel on urine samples for more accurate detection of prostate cancer. Chromosomes Y, 7, 10, 20, 6, […]

Prognostic significance of monosomy 17 and impact of karyotype complexity in mk+ /ck+ aml

On a recent study that analyzed patients between 17 and 93 years of age (N = 1592), who were participants in the ECOG-ACRIN trials, the influence of the most common monosomies (5, 7, and 17) within monosomal karyotype (MK+)/complex karyotype (CK+) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was investigated. Most MK+ patients (93%) were found to be
