Medical tests are performed to detect or diagnose a health issue, determine an appropriate treatment plan, confirm that a therapeutic intervention is working as intended, or monitor the progression of a condition. Medical tests can vary from evaluating bodily specimens, such as blood or urine, to invasive examinations, including biopsies or endoscopies. While most medical testing requires a healthcare professional, some test, such as monitoring blood glucose levels, can be administered by the individual patient in an outpatient setting.
Individuals of under-represented minority ancestry are at disproportional risk for higher incidence and mortality rates for particular cancers. The unequal burden of cancer in certain racial...
Cancer disparities among persons of African descent are driven by both biological and nonbiological factors. There is evidence in breast cancer that psychosocial factors (environment, socioe...
Changes in transcriptional regulation are thought to be one of the key drivers of carcinogenesis. Although next-generation sequencer revolutionized transcriptome analysis, there are limitati...
