[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]Cancer May Metastasize Without Lymph Node Involvement NFCR-funded research finds two distinct patterns of metastatic spread in human colorectal cancer (Bethesda, MD, July 13, 2017) Research by several leading scientists including Rakesh Jain, PhD, Director of the Edwin L. Steele Laboratory for Tumor Biology at the...
A liquid biopsy can provide valuable insight into how to best fight cancer. This noninvasive diagnostic is particularly helpful for patients who cannot undergo a surgical biopsy or whose tumor sample has been exhausted. In the not-too-distant future, liquid biopsies may be used to guide...

Cancer develops when genetic material (DNA) becomes damaged or changed. We know some cancer-causing genetic changes are acquired (e.g., smoking), while others are inherited. Studying cancer genomics explores the differences between cancer cells and normal...
“Quantum dots” that emit infrared light enable highly detailed images of internal body structures Researchers have found a way to make tiny particles, known as quantum dots, that can be injected into the body and emit short-wave infrared light, enabling a new way to capture detailed...
A method called MishCTC is being developed that will detect a molecular biomarker that is inside tumor cells but can’t be detected in normal blood cells....
The U.S. FDA approved the first and only drug to treat people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors express the ROS1+ mutation....
Can you imagine that a Guinness world record could be related to genetic sequencing and disease diagnosis? A world record for fastest genetic diagnosis was recently set by Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, president and CEO of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine. Dr. Kingsmore is able...
