Whole genome sequencing may guide blood cancer treatment
For certain blood cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), deciding whether patients need an aggressive treatment typically hinges on a set of lab tests to identify genetic changes.
Some of these tests rely on technology that was invented more than 60 years ago and has been used clinically for the past three decades.
Now, a new study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis shows that whole genome sequencing is at least as accurate and often better than conventional genetic tests that help determine the treatment for a patient s blood cancer. Genome sequencing technology continuously is decreasing in cost and recently reached a level similar to that of conventional testing. In addition, results can be returned to patients in just a few days, making whole genome sequencing a potentially viable approach for determining the best treatment regimen for a particular patien

The former Beatles legend originally released his 18th solo album, ‘McCartney III’, in December, and it has now been announced he’s joined forces with a host of musical talents to re-create each of the songs on the record for a new album titled ‘McCartney III Imagined’.
Each of the tracks on the new album – which will be released this summer – have been personally curated by Paul, and include complete covers, remixes, and featured performances.
