Cancer metastases develop when tumor cells known as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are shed from a tumor, circulate through the blood stream and colonize a distant tissue. The number of CTCs...
Whenever there is cell death, apoptotic cell free DNA fragments appear in the circulation of the host. These fragments, typically 145-160 base pairs in size, represent a minute fraction of to...

Cancer cells have historically been classified by microscopic analysis of blood smears and tissue sections. Current technologies use molecular techniques to categorize and classify tumor cell...
The effective implementation of personalised cancer therapeutic regimens depends on the successful identification and translation of informative biomarkers to aid clinical decision making. Th...
Survival rates for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unacceptably low compared to other common solid tumors. This mortality reflects a weakness in conventional staging, a...
