A new way of capturing the molecular alterations of cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have a new way of plotting how cancer has progressed deep within a patient’s genetic blueprint. It’s a new graphing method called the Genome U-plot that reveals genetic changes taking place on a molecular level. The Genome U-plot’s two-dimensional layout and high spacial resolution make it possible to show chromosomal deletions, breaks, […]

ASCL1 And RET Expression Defines Clinically Relevant Subgroup Of Lung Adenocarcinoma
By Center for Individualized Medicine
A recent publication, featuring the Director of the Biomarker Discovery Program at the Center for Individualized Medicine at Mayo Clinic, George Vasmatzis, examining the role of ASCL1 in the neuroendocrine differentiation of lung adenocarcinoma. The clinical significance of neuroendocrine differentiation in lung adenocarcinoma, and the most appropriate biomarkers for this assessment, has long been debated. In the […]
