Next Generation Sequencing Targeted RAS/RAF Gene Panel

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

    Mayo Clinic has now developed, through utilizing next generation sequencing, a multi-gene panel to evaluate for somatic mutations within the BRAF, HRAS, NRAS, and KRAS genes associated with cancer. This test can be ordered to identify tumors that may respond to targeted therapies by assessing multiple gene targets simultaneously, mutations that may help determine prognosis for […]

Don’t Change Breast Cancer Guidelines on Flawed Research

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

    Clinical recommendations discouraging the use of CYP2D6 gene testing to guide tamoxifen therapy in breast cancer patients are based on studies with flawed methodology and should be reconsidered, according to the results of a Mayo Clinic study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. For years, controversy has surrounded the CYP2D6 […]

Tracing the Lineage of Lung Cancer Tumors

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

    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 […]

Diversity in Your Gut Influences Your Health

By Center for Individualized Medicine Center for Individualized Medicine (@samuelsmith5209)

    Before reaching for that daily antacid, you might consider what it’s doing to the trillions of bugs living in your gut. A new Mayo Clinic study in the open access journal Microbiome shows that people who regularly take proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have less diversity among their gut bacteria, putting them at increased […]
