Myriad's EndoPredict offers better prediction of breast cancer recurrence, analysis shows   Myriad Genetics, Inc. today announced that a comparative analysis of commercially available prognostic breast cancer tests in patients with early-stage breast cancer has been published in JAMA Oncology.

Advanced method holds promise for substantial improvements in breast cancer diagnosis   Enhancing the diagnosis of breast cancer is the stated goal of a research team at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. The scientists have combined an advanced method of diffusion-weighted MR imaging with intelligent image analysis methods to detect malignant changes in tissues.         Local environment plays crucial role in aggressiveness of breast cancer   Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women -- one in eight (12.4 percent) in the U.S. will be diagnosed with it. Invasive breast cancer is dangerous for two reasons: It can aggressively spread to other organs in the body, and it is likely to recur.

Liquid biopsies could be used as new predictive marker for metastatic TNBC   A clinically relevant "liquid biopsy" test can be used to profile cancer genomes from blood and predict survival outcomes for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer, according to new research published by a multi-institutional team of researchers with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center -- Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J.       Aggressive cancer stem cells can now be isolated successfully in a scientific breakthrough   University of Texas at Dallas researchers have managed to formulate a new technique by which they can isolate aggressive cells which can be the main cause behind metastasized cancers or cancers that have spread to other major organs from their primary site of occurrence.       UT Dallas researchers use new technique to isolate cancer stem cells   Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have devised a new technique to isolate aggressive cells thought to form the root of many hard-to-treat metastasized cancers -- a significant step toward developing new drugs that might target these cells.       UC Riverside researchers discover way to halt cancer metastasis   A research team at the University of California, Riverside has discovered a way for chemotherapy drug paclitaxel to target migrating, or circulating, cancer cells, which are responsible for the development of tumor metastases.
