UrduThe new approach marks a major step forward in the design of AI tools to support clinical decisions in cancer diagnosis, therapy.
The model uses features of a tumor’s microenvironment to forecast how a patient might respond to therapy and to help inform individualized treatments.

False-positive mammogram results discourage some women from future screenings
A false-positive mammogram may deter women from future screenings, according to a new study. But staying on schedule remains key to early detection of cancer.
Cancer screening in sexual and gender minority populations: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: The sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations experience a greater cancer burden than their heterosexual or cisgender counterparts. Screening rates for cancer within this cohort are frequently suboptimal, highlighting notable deficiencies in screening recommendations. Inadequate culturally competent care and screening…
Four state-of-the-art, artificial intelligence search engines for histopathology images may not be ready for clinical use
Four proposed state-of-the art image search engines for automating search and retrieval of digital histopathology slides were found to be of inadequate performance for routine clinical care. Some had less than 50% accuracy, which is not suitable for clinical practice.
New Study Uncovers Lasting Financial Hardship Associated with Cancer Diagnosis for Working-Age Adults in the U.S.
A new study led by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) highlights the lasting financial impact of a cancer diagnosis for many working-age adults and their families in the United States. It shows a cancer diagnosis and the time required for its treatment can result in employment disruptions, loss of household income and loss of employment-based health insurance coverage, leading to financial hardship.
UK Markey Cancer Center study reveals extent of undiagnosed cancer cases caused by pandemic
Over 134,000 cancer cases went undiagnosed in the U.S. during the first 10 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center study.
Foundation Venture Capital Group Commits $1 Million to Hackensack Meridian Health’s First Spin-out Company, EValuate Diagnostics
The company, based on science from the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation, promises to capture biomarkers for early detection of disease
Whole-body MRIs aren’t as beneficial as they seem
Knowing every abnormality in your body is tempting, but experts say ignorance may be bliss
Using CRISPR to detect cancer biomarkers
Only a few forms of cancer can currently be diagnosed using blood samples. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Sensors have developed an easy-to-use method that can detect small amounts of cancer-related molecules in exosomes in plasma and effectively distinguish between malignant and benign samples.
AI can be used to identify benign thyroid nodules and reduce unnecessary biopsies
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to identify thyroid nodules seen on thyroid ultrasound that are very unlikely to be cancerous, reducing a large number of unnecessary biopsies, according to a new study being presented Saturday at ENDO 2022, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Atlanta, Ga.
Study: Counting Cancerous Lymph Nodes Is Best Predictor
Patients newly diagnosed with cancer typically focus on one question, eclipsing all others: “What is my prognosis?”
Antioxidant, Inflammation Levels May Reveal New Diagnostic Tool for Breast Cancer
A new study that analyzes levels of antioxidants and stress markers in the blood could lead to a new diagnostic tool for breast cancer. The research will be presented this week in Philadelphia at the American Physiological Society’s (APS) annual meeting at Experimental Biology 2022.
$2.4 million NIH grant to fund research into better, faster diagnosis of lung nodules
A biomedical engineering professor at Binghamton University, State University of New York has received a $2.4 million grant to develop a faster, less painful way to diagnose malignant solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs).
Distance from hospital impacts cancer diagnosis, survival in young adults
Adolescents and young adults living in rural versus metropolitan U.S. counties and those living farther from the hospital where they were diagnosed are more likely to be detected at a later cancer stage, when it is generally less treatable and have lower survival rates compared with those living in metropolitan counties and closer to the reporting hospital, finds a new study from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis.
Biomarker Could Help Identify Difficult-to-Diagnose Kidney Cancer Subtype
High expression levels of the gene TRIM63 can serve as an accurate and sensitive biomarker of a subtype of kidney cancer known as microphthalmia-associated transcription factor family aberration-associated renal cell carcinomas — or MiTF renal cell carcinoma.
It’s important to distinguish MiTF from other subtypes of kidney cancers — clear cell, papillary and chromophobe — because these tumors may not respond well to standard, front-line treatments and may respond better to other approaches.
Scientists Recruit New Atomic Heavyweights in Targeted Fight Against Cancer
Researchers from Berkeley Lab and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed new methods for the large-scale production, purification, and use of the radioisotope cerium-134, which could serve as a PET imaging radiotracer for a highly targeted cancer treatment known as alpha-particle therapy.

New CAP Guideline Improves Collection, Handling of Lung Specimens
The College of American Pathologists (CAP) released a new evidence- based guideline “Collection and Handling of Thoracic Small Biopsy and Cytology Specimens for Ancillary Studies” to clarify procedures and methods to optimize test outcomes.
STUDY FINDS ‘VIRTUAL BIOPSY’ ALLOWS DOCTORS TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE PRECANCEROUS PANCREATIC CYSTS
Research from doctors at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center finds a new “virtual biopsy” allows them to definitively diagnose cysts in the pancreas with unprecedented accuracy. This means they can eliminate precancerous cysts and potentially save lives.
