Only 20% of primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed at an early stage, which makes early detection an urgent, unmet healthcare need.
Study aims to develop more accurate diagnostics for early HCC, an AI algorithm to predict an individual s risk of developing HCC, and discover novel molecular targets to prevent the development of HCC.
Angiosarcomas are clinically aggressive tumours that are more prevalent in Asian populations
Study led by Singapore clinician-scientists has found a way to classify angiosarcomas into three subtypes, allowing for more targeted treatment, better outcomes for patients and the development of new therapies
Findings were published in
The Journal of Clinical Investigation in October this year
Singapore, 29 December 2020 - A new study led by clinician-scientists from the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), with collaborators from research institutions worldwide, has found that angiosarcomas have unique genomic and immune profiles which allow them to be classified into three different subtypes. With this new and improved classification system, patients can be treated using a personalised-medicine approach and it will encourage the development of novel treatments.
