Detecting Prostate Cancer Earlier
A new blood test is more
reliable at finding prostate
cancer in its early stages
by detecting a protein
marker in blood plasma.
Doctors say the new test,
now in clinical trials, will

Unraveling Brain Tumors
Brain tumor researchers have
found that brain tumors
arise from cancer stem cells
living within tiny
protective areas formed by
blood vessels in the brain.
Killing those cells is a

Will Your Cancer Spread?
A new biopsy test, created
by molecular biologists, can
tell ocular melanoma
patients if theirs is the
kind that will spread. Using
very thin needles, surgeons
collect cells from tumors

Beating Bone Marrow Cancer
To lessen the impact of
chemotherapy on bone marrow
cancer patients,
hematologists are recruiting
the patients' own immune
systems to help. White blood
cells are extracted before a
