Other cell detection techniques could help refine the results sufficiently to allow the technique to put a precise timing on when a rape happened. (newscientist.com)
Chicago, GenomeWeb — A new study by researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has demonstrated the predictive power of an AR - V7 protein expression test using Epic Sciences» non-EPCAM-based circulating tumor cell detection platform, which could help guide treatment decisions for men with metastatic castration - resistant prostate cancer.
