NYU-Langone researchers have shown an association between high levels of saturated fat in breast adipose tissue with breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

An MR-based system for identifying pediatric cases of Candida infection has been shown capable of using low-volume blood specimens to efficiently diagnose or rule out candidemia, the deadliest form of sepsis-causing bloodstream infection.

A year and a half after the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and software partner SAP announced their CancerLinQ initiative to achieve better cancer care through big data, some 58 practices representing 1,000 providers around the country have signed on and are sharing insights from around 750,000 patient records.

U.S. and Japanese researchers have come up with a novel, image-based way to track stem cell signals so as to halt pancreatic cancer in its tracks. 

Comparing the quality of synthesized 2D images created using 3D digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) with the quality of images captured in 2D full field digital mammography (FFDM), a research team at Duke has found that the former is indeed better than the latter at depicting some visual features.

Reaching out directly to patients through the Internet, social media and other nontraditional channels, researchers have recruited more than 2,000 participants from across the country for a metastatic breast cancer (MBC) study project launched last fall.

Texas researchers are developing a way to turn the diffusion properties of LED lighting against tumors.   

The advanced diffusion-weighted imaging technique RSI, short for restriction-spectrum MRI, is able to detect variations in tumor grade with voxel-level precision—and so could aid in customizing treatment of prostate cancer patients whose disease is spreading faster in some tumor regions than others.
