Genomic Instability Test Predicts Chemotherapy Failure in Cancer Patients
Researchers in Spain and the UK have developed a new genomic instability analysis that predicts which patients will not respond to three major chemotherapy types, impacting treatment decisions and potentially reducing side effects for up to 50% of patients.

Blood Test Predicts Premature Birth Risk Four Months Early
A new Chinese study reveals a blood test predicting premature birth over four months prior, using circulating RNA biomarkers; while promising, its 16-21% false positive and 26-40% false negative rates necessitate further refinement before widespread implementation.

Long Covid Linked to Specific Brain Changes, Impairing Language and Quality of Life
A study of 17 long Covid patients found significantly lower levels of the neuroprotective protein NGF and higher levels of the inflammatory protein IL-10, correlating with impaired language processing and reduced quality of life; this suggests direct brain damage contributes to long Covid symptoms.

Highly Accurate Urine Test Shows Promise for Routine Prostate Cancer Screening
A new urine test for prostate cancer, achieving an AUC score of 0.92 compared to PSA's 0.65-0.75, is undergoing a large-scale (£42 million) UK clinical trial (250,000-300,000 men over 8 years) to assess its potential for routine screening, aiming to reduce the over 12,000 annual deaths from this can...
