Genetic variants affect the relationship between the risk of colorectal cancer and the use of Aspirin Members of the Colon Cancer Family Registry (CCFR) and Genetics and Epidemiology projects of the Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO) collected genetic and other data from more than 8,600 cases of colorectal cancer and 8,500 controls enrolled through studies in…
How does cancer develop? As cancer develops from multiple genetic changes, it is very complex. Among the genetic changes are the genetic variations of specific genes (oncogenes), or deletion / duplications of genes, chromosomal changes of chromosomes, alterations in gene expression, aberrant methylations, etc. In addition, it is highly variable in genomic characteristics. All this…
This test is a Molecular Multiplex Analysis in which the following are reviewed: Protein markers (tumor markers). Analysis of circulating tumor cells (ctc). A transcriptomic profile (genetic expression) is made. Genetic profile search for point mutations, deletions / duplications and SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms). Epigenetic profile (methylation study). Pharmacogenetic analysis. Nutrigenetics The purpose of this…
Early detection, the prognosis of the disease and a comprehensive therapeutic guide are key to saving a patient with cancer. At Genolife we use a simple blood test that can help you and your doctor stay up to date on the changes that cause the cancer to spread, become resistant or return. When the cancer…
The prostate, as it grows, can progressively compress the urethra and, therefore, cause difficulty urinating. This happens because this compression prevents the flow of urine from the bladder to the urethra and to the outside. The possible consequences are retention of urine in the bladder or reflux of urine into the kidneys and a need…
Genolife researchers report on a new test based on methods of personalized medicine and genomic medicine for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. In Mexico, approximately 2 in 10 men develop prostate cancer and approximately 5,500 succumb to the disease each year. The diagnosis of prostate cancer can be made through the blood test for prostate-specific…
El virus del papiloma humano (VPH) es un virus de transmisión sexual. Actualmente se han documentados más de 40 diferentes genotipos que pueden transmitirse fácilmente por contacto sexual directo, de la piel y de las membranas mucosas de personas infectadas a la piel y a las membranas mucosas de sus parejas.
The acronym VPH means Human Papilloma Virus. There are more than 100 types of this virus. Some types manifest with warts, often warts on the soles of the feet and on the hands. About 40 types of the virus can infect the genital area: the vulva, vagina, cervix, rectum, anus, penis or scrotum. Human papillomavirus…
