Human circulating tumor DNA “was overall consistently shorter than the fragment length of normal cell-free DNA,” the authors wrote in their paper. The findings could help improve cancer diagnosis and ...

“The fact that cancer cells can be converted back to normal cells is an astonishing phenomenon. This study proves that such reversion can be systematically induced,” Cho remarked. In the ...

For image analysis, we cut the tumor tissue using a microtome in 12-μm thick sections orthogonal to the point of attachment to normal tissue. Frozen sections were processed following the protocol ...

tumor tissue specimens, and DNA isolated from matched normal blood or saliva specimens, from previously diagnosed cancer patients with solid malignant neoplasms. The test is intended as a ...
