Two tumors can look almost identical under a microscope yet behave very differently. One may grow slowly, while another spreads rapidly. One might respond dramatically to a targeted drug, while the other ignores the same treatment. The explanation may be hidden inside their DNA and RNA. Molecular pathology studies genetic and molecular changes within diseased … Read more

Two patients can have cancers that arise in the same organ and look similar under a microscope, yet their tumors may behave very differently. One might respond extremely well to a particular targeted drug, while the other receives little benefit from the same treatment. The difference may lie in cancer biomarkers. A biomarker is a … Read more
