Liquid biopsies: detecting and treating cancer sooner

By Sharon Rosen Sharon Rosen (@sharonhrosen)

What if a blood test could discover cancer before a tumor first appears or before the first signs of cancer recurrence are seen by a radiology study? In fact, these types of blood tests, often called liquid biopsies, are already changing clinical care for patients with cancer. Researchers and physicians in Mayo Clinic Center for […]

Study evaluates effectiveness of deep genomic profiling in clinical setting

By Colette Gallagher Colette Gallagher (@colettegallagher)

Genomic profiling is used today for patients with advanced cancers to help develop new ways to diagnose and treat their disease and offer an individualized treatment plan. While gene panel testing is relatively commonplace, there are many barriers to using new and more sophisticated DNA technologies. According to Mitesh Borad, M.D., an oncologist at the […]

How does a genomic tumor board impact patient care?

By Colette Gallagher Colette Gallagher (@colettegallagher)

The outcomes from a Mayo Clinic study published in Oncotarget found value in having an established genomic tumor board, and using genomics for certain patients. The experience of the Genomic Tumor Board has promoted an evolution in the practice according to Alan Bryce, M.D., a Mayo Clinic oncologist, and co-first author on the study. “There […]
