Targeted plasma proteomic analysis uncovers a high-performance biomarker panel for early diagnosis of gastric cancer
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified a multi-protein signature with the potential to benefit clinical GC diagnosis, especially for Asian and early GC patients, which may contribute to the development of a less-invasive, convenient, and efficient early screening tool, promoting early diagnosis and treatment of GC and ultimately improving patient survival.PMID:38631604 | DOI:10.1016/j.cca.2024.119675 (Source: International Journal of Clinical Chemistry)

Reflex strategy to ensure accurate total testosterone results from consumer initiated, self-collected capillary samples
CONCLUSION: Self-collected capillary specimens are acceptable for TT testing. A quality assurance reflex to LH/FSH can determine the validity of supraphysiological TT results in a consumer initiated/DAT population.PMID:38631605 | DOI:10.1016/j.cca.2024.119676 (Source: International Journal of Clinical Chemistry)

Clin Chim Acta. 2024 Apr 11:119670. doi: 10.1016/j.cca.2024.119670. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent years, there has been a global increase in cases of male infertility. There are about 30 million cases of male infertility worldwide and male reproductive health is showing rapid decline in last few decades. It is now recognized as a potential risk factor for developing certain types of cancer, particularly genitourinary malignancies like testicular and prostate cancer. Male infertility is considered a potential indicator of overall health and an early biomarker for cancer. Cases of unexplained male factor infertilit...
