How Individualizing Breast Cancer Improved This Patient’s Care
By Center for Individualized Medicine 
Holly Boehle continues to reflect on the little things that make a difference in her care — the differentiators that brought her to Mayo Clinic and continue to give her hope today. Boehle of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was diagnosed with breast cancer nearly two years ago. Subsequently, she learned of Mayo Clinic’s care […]

Staying One Step Ahead of Cancer
By Center for Individualized Medicine
Four researchers at Mayo Clinic combined their talents to spur a “bedside to bench” movement that takes the issues they face in the clinic back to the laboratory in the hopes of discovering biomarkers to help specific patients facing difficult medical problems. George Vasmatzis, Ph.D., co-director of Mayo Clinic’s Biomarker Discovery Program in […]

Tracing the Lineage of Lung Cancer Tumors
By Center for Individualized Medicine
A diagnostic test based on chromosomal rearrangements can trace the lineage of lung cancer to determine whether two separate lung cancers in the same patient are independent tumors or a tumor that has spread to another region of the lung, a Mayo Clinic study has found. For patients with multiple tumors, that distinction […]

Zhiguo Zhang, Ph.D. and colleagues from the Center for Individualized Medicine, offer a new tool for genomic research, through a new method revealing genome-wide association of proteins with leading and lagging strands of DNA replication forks. This will provide a tool for studying the general replication-related processes and a specific mechanism that makes this possible. […]

Findings Reveal Relationship with TP63 & p63 Protein Expression in Lung Adenocarcinoma
By Center for Individualized Medicine
Using next-generation sequencing analysis of mate-pair DNA libraries, a group of researchers from the Center for Individualized Medicine recently identified novel chromosomal rearrangements involving TP63 in approximately 6% in peripheral T-cell lymphomas and demonstrated that these were associated with a poorer overall survival than lymphomas without these rearrangements. These rearrangements also were found in occasional B-cell […]
