1. PET and MRI of Prostate Cancer
Abstract : Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-skin malignancy of men in developed countries. In spite of treatment with curative intent up to 30-40% of patients have disease recurrence after treatment, resulting from any combination of lymphatic, hematogenous, or contiguous local spread.

3. Liquid biopsies in pediatric oncology : towards clinical implementation
Abstract : During the last few years, liquid biopsies based on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) have become approved for clinical use in several areas of adult oncology. Due to the minimally invasive nature of this procedure, liquid biopsies could serve many purposes in childhood oncology as well. READ MORE

4. Metastatic Breast Cancer: Biomolecular Characterization and Targeted Therapy
Abstract : Metastasis is a complex process that remains a major challenge in the clinical management of cancer, because most cancer-related deaths are attributed to disseminated disease rather than the primary tumor. Despite the significant advances in the prediction of prognosis, and therapeutic management of primary breast cancers, coupled with the substantial improvement in our understanding of the molecular determinants of metastasis, breast cancer relapse and death rates remain unacceptably high.

5. Ultrasensitive DNA sequencing using liquid biopsies enables precision medicine
Abstract : Liquid biopsies are minimally invasive and allow repetitive sampling of body fluids. Analysis of cell-free tumor DNA in liquid biopsies can be used as a biomarker for cancer. However, in most clinically relevant liquid biopsies, cell-free DNA is present at low concentrations, contains minute tumor allele frequencies, and is highly fragmented. READ MORE
