187 new genetic variants linked to prostate c

<p style="text-align:start">A globe-spanning scientific team has compiled the most comprehensive list of genetic variants associated with prostate cancer risk &mdash; 451 in all &mdash; through a whole-genome analysis that ranks as the largest and most diverse investigation into prostate cancer genetics yet. The research explored the genomes of nearly 950,000 men, including major increases in representation among men from racial and ethnic groups that have often been left out of such research. The study identified 187 new genetic variants linked to prostate cancer, revising what is known about genetic risk for the disease. With these findings, the researchers improved a system they developed for measuring genetic risk so that it was more effective in predicting who would or wouldn&rsquo;t develop prostate cancer &mdash; even distinguishing between the likelihood of aggressive and less-serious cases among men of African descent.</p>

New USC study shows immigrant adults with liv

Immigrant adults with liver cancer in the United States have higher survival rates than people with the disease who were born in the U.S., according to new research from the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. Immigrants comprise a significant proportion of those diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma in the U.S. Research has shown that birthplace, also referred to as nativity, impacts incidence and risk factors for HCC, but little was known about its influence on survival after diagnosis. The new study, just published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, identified a previously unrecognized disparity in survival after a diagnosis of liver cancer across all major racial/ethnic groups, with immigrants having better survival compared to those born in the U.S. ....
