The global DNA methylation market size was valued at US$ 1.9 Bn in 2025 and is projected to reach US$ 7.7 Bn by 2036, growing ...

In about 5–10% of colorectal cancer patients, hereditary factors play a role, with higher percentages among younger patients.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University found that a blood test could detect cancer DNA more than three years before a patient receives a clinical diagnosis. The study, published in May in the journal ...

An international team of scientists has revealed how rogue rings of DNA that float outside of our chromosomes -- known as extrachromosomal DNA, or ecDNA -- can drive the growth of a large proportion ...

A noninvasive urinary DNA methylation test demonstrated high sensitivity for detecting high-grade or invasive bladder cancer. A urinary DNA methylation test displayed superior sensitivity for ...

Angus is STAT’s cancer reporter. Marissa, when not working as an intern, studies extracellular vesicles in the brain in her Ph.D. research. Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...

A new, error-corrected method for detecting cancer from blood samples is much more sensitive and accurate than prior methods and may be useful for monitoring disease status in patients following ...

A new liquid biopsy developed by researchers at the University of Chicago is offering a powerful new window into cancer’s earliest stages by flagging subtle shifts in the gut microbiome. Unlike ...

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a highly efficient repair system capable of swiftly identifying and repairing ...
