Over the past decade, immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown success in treating several types of cancer, including melanoma, non-small cell...
MD Anderson researchers have discovered that a protein called angiogenin (ANG) serves as a potential biomarker useful for stratifying pancreatic...
Somatic mutations in certain genes may function as a molecular minimal residual disease marker for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), according to a study led by Koichi Takahashi, M.D., assistant professor of Leukemia at MD Anderson. The study showed that clearance of somatic mutation at complete response, particularly in non-preleukemic genes, is associated with significantly better overall survival (OS) and cumulative incidence of relapse...
