Nova eina d’anàlisi per a predir la resposta al tractament preoperatori en càncer de recte
Investigadors del Programa Contra la Resistència Terapèutica del Càncer (ProCURE), de l’Institut d’Investigació Biomèdica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL) i de l’Institut Català d’Oncologia (ICO) han desenvolupat una nova eina que permet establir la probabilitat de resposta al tractament preoperatori en tumors de recte localment avançats. Predir quins pacients no respondran al tractament pot ajudar a evitar […]
New epigenomic strategies in the clinical management of cancer of unknown primary
The invention of the EPICUP® epigenetic test last year allowed physicians to elucidate what type of primary tumor had metastasized in patients with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP). Today, an article published in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology by Dr. Manel Esteller, coordinator of the Epigenetics and Cancer Biology Program of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute […]
