Hackensack Meridian Health becomes second in the world to implant Impella Bridge-to-Recovery heart pump

Hackensack Meridian Health, Hackensack University Medical Center cardiac surgeon Yuriy Dudiy, M.D. became the second in the world to successfully implant the Impella Bridge-to-Recovery (BTR)™ heart pump for the technology's U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) early feasibility study (EFS) investigational device exemption (IDE).

Novel model reveals how genomic instability arises in histologically benign tissue

Understanding which cells give rise to which areas of cancer can improve our understanding of how a tumor has grown and developed, including how it has changed genetically, over time. This has been made possible using a new technique called spatial transcriptomics, which allows scientists to see what genetic changes take place without breaking up the tissue they're looking at.

Study finds genetic alterations in healthy cells that match with the tumor cells

A new study offers the possibility of unmasking genetic mutations in an organ well before commonly-used screening techniques detect signs of cancer.

New easy-to-use test could rapidly diagnose heart attacks and cancers

Imperial researchers have built a new easy-to-use test that could diagnose non-infectious diseases like heart attacks and cancers more quickly.

Surveillance program for high risk patients aids in early detection of pancreatic cancer

Surveillance programs for people at high risk of developing pancreatic cancers can help detect precancerous conditions and cancers early, when they are most treatable, according to a new multicenter study directed by experts at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.

Researchers find a way to kill recurring prostate cancer with a lot of iron

Prostate cancer can come back from common hormone deprivation therapy with a vengeance and no clear treatment option, but scientists have early evidence that one way to kill these recurring cancer cells may be with a lot of iron.

Survey: Many prostate cancer patients in the UK did not receive adequate information about radiotherapy-induced sexual dysfunction

New research indicates that many UK patients don't receive adequate information about treatment-induced sexual dysfunction before, during, and after radiotherapy treatment for prostate cancer.

Research uses big data to find cancerous mutations in cells

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are among the latest tools being used by cancer researchers to aid in detection and treatment of the disease.

Bladder cancer patients with ctDNA positivity respond very well to treatment with atezolizumab

Researchers who treated a group of post-surgery bladder cancer patients with the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab have found that patients whose blood contained circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), responded very well to the treatment.
