specific gene expression

(BioMed Central) Genetic changes during the initiation and progression of prostate cancer have eluded scientists to date.

Now for the first time researchers have identified a specific gene expression profile of prostate cancer stem cells, with important implications for future treatments.

Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have developed a new "clinicogenomic model" to accurately test for lung cancer.

The model combines a specific gene expression for lung cancer as well as clinical risk factors. These findings currently appear online in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.
