5 inherited genetic variants linked to prostate cancer
An international team of researchers led by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has identified five inherited genetic variants that are strongly associated with aggressive, lethal prostate cancer.

Cancer mortality rates higher in men than women
Overall cancer mortality rates are higher for men than women in the United States. Men are more likely to die from cancer than women. For many cancers, men have poorer survival than women but the differences are slight, and this is due to the greater frequency of cancer diagnosis, rather than poorer survival once the cancer occurs.

Bariatric surgery better than dieting for glucose control
Researchers have uncovered a new clue for why bariatric surgery is more effective than dietary remedies alone at controlling glucose levels. The study conducted at Duke University Medical Center and St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospital Center, Columbia University.

Activation of biomarker may improve survival among obese patients with colorectal cancer
Among obese patients, activation of the protein biomarker CTNNB1 was associated with better colorectal cancer-specific survival and overall survival, whereas post-diagnosis physical activity was associated with better colorectal cancer-specific survival among patients negative for CTNNB1.

Potential Alzheimer's disease diagnostic test using spinal fluid
Researchers at the University of Kentucky are working on a potential diagnostic test for Alzheimer's disease, based on biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid.

Biomarker test promising for melanoma early diagnosis
Biomarker test for DNA methylation is technically feasible and could aid in earlier, more precise diagnosis of melanoma, revealed by US researchers.

Imaging can identify biomarker of alzheimer's disease
Preliminary research suggests that use of a type of molecular imaging procedure may have the ability to detect the presence of beta-amyloid in the brains of individuals during life, a biomarker that is identified during autopsy to confirm a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease.

Initial trials on new ovarian cancer tests exhibit extremely high accuracy
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have attained very promising results on their initial investigations of a new test for ovarian cancer. Using a new technique involving mass spectrometry of a single drop of blood serum, the test correctly identified women with ovarian cancer in 100 percent of the patients tested. The results can be found online in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, & Prevention Research.

Fish oil may reduce breast cancer risk
A recent report in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, adds to the growing evidence that fish oil supplements may play a role in preventing chronic disease like breast cancer.

Gene biomarker to identify smokers for lung cancer risk
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) in collaboration with investigators at the University of Utah, have discovered a new approach for identifying smokers at the highest risk for developing lung cancer.

Creating personalized biomarkers from tumor DNA to treat cancer
Researchers have developed a new technique for tracking cancer by identifying personalized biomarkers from tumor DNA, reports a new study in the 24 February 2010 issue of the journal Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS, the nonprofit science society.

Exercise may prevent, improve cognitive impairment
Moderate physical activity performed in midlife or later appears to be associated with a reduced risk of mild cognitive impairment, whereas a six-month high-intensity aerobic exercise program may improve cognitive function in individuals who already have the condition.

Brain imaging may help diagnose autism disorder
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) process sound and language a fraction of a second slower than children without ASDs, and measuring magnetic signals that mark this delay may become a standardized way to diagnose autism.

Biomarkers for ovarian cancer rise a year before diagnosis
Concentrations of the biomarkers CA125, human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), and mesothelin began to rise 3 years before clinical diagnosis of ovarian cancer, according to a new study published online December 30 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Young looking people live longer
People with youthful faces are more likely to live to a longer life than those who look more than their years, revealed by Danish researchers in a new study.

New biomarker predicts response to hepatitis C treatment
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have identified the first genetic marker that predicts response to hepatitis C treatments, and a single letter of DNA code appears to make a huge difference.

Biomarkers may help predict risk of Alzheimer's disease
Several cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers showed good accuracy in identifying patients with mild cognitive impairment who progressed to Alzheimer's disease, revealed by US researchers in JAMA.

A simple urine dipstick test can diagnose appendicitis now
A protein detectable in urine might serve as a "biomarker" for appendicitis, revealed by researchers at the Proteomics Center at Children's Hospital Boston.

Green tea slows prostate cancer progression
Men with prostate cancer who consumed the active compounds in green tea demonstrated a significant reduction in serum markers predictive of prostate cancer progression, revealed by researchers.

Advance in bowel cancer test research - gene expression biomarkers
Australian researchers have developed gene expression biomarkers which can accurately discriminate pre-cancerous and cancerous colorectal growths from non-cancerous controls.

3 minute quick test for prostate cancer
A new 3-minute test could help in diagnosing prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men in the UK, according to scientists. Researchers have developed the test by using light energy to measure the level of citrate in fluid samples from the prostate gland.
