SALT LAKE CITY - Utah researchers report significant new insights into the development of blood cancers. In work published today in
Blood Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, scientists describe an analysis of published data from more than 7,000 patients diagnosed with leukemia and other blood disorders. Their findings provide new clues about mutations that may initiate cancer development and those that may help cancer to progress.
The researchers sought to identify mutation hotspots, or frequent changes in specific locations of the cancer patients genetic information. The researchers then used these hotspots to look for whether the same mutations were present in the DNA data of more than 4,500 people who were not known to have a cancer diagnosis. They found that approximately 2 percent of these presumably healthy participants had, at low levels, mutat

Utah is finally receiving enough doses beyond what local health departmentscan handle on their own which is where this newly announced partnership comes into play.
SALT LAKE CITY Utah Department of Health officials announced Monday the agency is turning to three major health care providers to help expand COVID-19 vaccine rollout in the state beginning this week, ahead of a jump in allotted vaccines.
Intermountain Healthcare, Nomi Health and University of Utah Health will all help vaccinate Utahns under the agreement with the state. All three said Monday that they had operations set up already and intended to expand operations in the coming weeks before the state s weekly allotment of vaccines is expected to more than double weekly totals from previous weeks. These partners will increase our reach throughout the state. They will be able to offer large-scale vaccination clinics in some areas where we re currently unable to do so, said Tom Hudachko, spokesperson for the Utah Department of Health. They have established relationships with many residents in the state who have underlying medical conditions, so we will rely on them to help with
