NCI mulls genetic risk of prostate, breast cancer
Future cancer management may rely on identifying healthy individuals at risk before they develop symptoms of disease, according to National Cancer Institute researchers.
Future cancer management may rely on identifying healthy individuals at risk before they develop symptoms of disease, according to National Cancer Institute researchers.
The NCI has launched an initiative to identify genetic alterations that create susceptibility to prostate and breast cancer. The three-year, $14 million Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility project will begin by scanning 2500 genetic samples from men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer as well as a control group. Data will be available via the NCI.
New MRI Study Questions Use of Corticosteroid Injections for Knee OA
May 27th 2025Two years after intraarticular knee injections for knee osteoarthritis (OA), study participants who had corticosteroid knee injections had greater OA progression than control patients while the use of hyaluronic acid injections was associated with less OA progression.
Can a Six-Minute MRI Facilitate Detection of Multiple Sclerosis?
May 23rd 2025Recognition of the central vein sign with a six-minute MRI demonstrated comparable sensitivity for multiple sclerosis (MS) detection in comparison to oligoclonal band (OCB) assessment, which requires lumbar puncture, according to newly published research.
