Estimating tumor-specific total mRNA level predicts cancer outcomes: Study reports first mathematical approach to measure total tumor-specific mRNA from mixed tumor samples - Science Daily

Researchers have developed a mathematical tool to estimate tumor-specific RNA levels from tumor samples with mixed cell types. Using this technique on thousands of samples found that higher mRNA levels are correlated with shorter survival.

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new approach to quantify tumor-specific total mRNA levels from patient tumor samples, which contain both cancer and n… [+4372 chars]
