Genomic drivers of a poorly understood kidney cancer
Researchers have identified many of the altered genes and cell signaling pathways that drive papillary renal cell carcinoma, a poorly understood form of cancer that accounts for about 15 percent of...
Tracking metastasis with cell-free DNA
Sequencing the fragments of tumor DNA that circulate in blood may give a more accurate picture of a patient’s metastatic cancer than can be obtained from biopsies. Researchers at the OHSU Knight...
