Duke CAGPM and Duke-NUS find Family Health History Collection Increases Chance of Cancer Carrier Detection in Genomics Era
Clinicians have historically used family health history collection as a primary method for identifying actionable disease-risk assessments. However, as large-scale genome screening programs continue to rise in popularity, the scientific community has questioned the efficacy of this traditional method, wondering at the superiority of variants identified by sequencing over family health history in identifying these risks.
Ferroptosis: An arrow into the metabolic Achilles' heel of recurrent breast cancer
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States. One in eight women will develop the disease. Typically, patients respond well to initial treatment, which usually includes some combination of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormone treatment.
