Medical tests are performed to detect or diagnose a health issue, determine an appropriate treatment plan, confirm that a therapeutic intervention is working as intended, or monitor the progression of a condition. Medical tests can vary from evaluating bodily specimens, such as blood or urine, to invasive examinations, including biopsies or endoscopies. While most medical testing requires a healthcare professional, some test, such as monitoring blood glucose levels, can be administered by the individual patient in an outpatient setting.
NCI estimates that cancer will be the leading cause of death in 2030, worldwide. Checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive cell therapies (ACTs) cost up to ~$2 million/patient and have shown durabl...
Personalized medicine has beomce a paradigm in lung cancer management; ~ 25–30% of advanced lung cancer patients could benefit from a targeted therapy. Several guidelines currently end...
Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors increase tumor immunogenicity in preclinical models of breast cancer and several trials combining CDK4/6 inhibitors and anti-PD1/PDL1 therapies are underway. Ho...
