New Governance Structure Approved by AMP Membership

Newswise — BETHESDA, MD, February 6, 2012 – The members of the Association for Molecular Pathology voted in favor of adopting significant changes to the structure of its governing body. The changes resulted in two primary refinements; 1) a shift from management by a Council to management by a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee, and 2) the transition of Subdivision Chairs from the role of Annual Meeting programming to one that focuses directly on the interests and needs of the subdivision discipline Continue reading →

Molecular test more accurate in predicting lung cancer survival

Home > News > health-news Washington, Jan 27 : An available molecular test can predict the likelihood of death from early-stage lung cancer more accurately than conventional methods, according to a team of scientists. The international team, led by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), conducted the two largest clinical studies ever done on the molecular genetics of lung cancer. They demonstrated how the test, which measures the activity of fourteen genes in cancerous tissue, improves the accuracy of prognosis. Continue reading →
