Baylor College of Medicine Receives $5.5M NCI Grant for Several Liver Cancer Prevention Projects
Researchers will explore the role of genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle factors in liver cancer risk stratification and explore preventive treatments.
Initial KidsCanSeq Findings Reveal Medical Recommendations Stemming From Germline Tests
Along with germline sequencing results, the research team tracked recommendations by pediatric oncologists in response to structured email reports outlining the results.
Germline Cancer Risk Genes May Hold Rhabdomyosarcoma Survival Clues, Study Suggests
Research presented at ASHG suggested that germline cancer susceptibility profiling may help to predict survival outcomes for a subset of rhabdomyosarcoma cases.
A recent $4 million grant will help double the size of the database, which is already helping researchers study links between genetic ancestry and cancer treatment outcomes.
Proteogenomic Analysis Uncovers HNSCC Subtypes, Possible Treatment Approaches
The researchers identified molecular subtypes of head and neck cancer that could be susceptible to CDK inhibitor, anti-EGFR antibody, or immunotherapy treatments.
