Scientists Decode How X-ray Damages DNA And Causes Cancer
London: Scientists have, for the first time, found how X-rays and radioactive particles cause cancer in humans by damaging DNA, a finding that may lead to more effective treatments for tumours caused by radiation. Researchers from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the UK have been able to identify in human cancers two characteristic patterns o...

Simple Blood Tests Can Help Detect, Target Cancer: Study
Blood samples can be just as effective as invasive tissue biopsies in monitoring cancer and can help doctors better prescribe treatment, a study revealed on Saturday.

Pathway Launches 'Liquid Biopsy' to Find Cancer in Healthy People
Pathway Genomics, a company known for pushing the boundaries of direct-to-consumer genetic testing, on Thursday will launch a cancer screening test designed to detect bits of cancer DNA in the blood of otherwise healthy people.

Damaged Stem Cells Linked With Ageing and Cancer: Study
The study found energy demands on stem cells during stress can directly damage DNA, or potentially lead to mutations.

Stool test detects signs of colon cancer
A test that detects DNA cell material in a stool sample can reliably detect colorectal cancer in its earliest stages, when the disease is best treated. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine. A malignant growth of cells of the large intestine is called colorectal cancer. Currently, patients are screened for cancer in a number of...
