Molecular signature could spot lung cancer early
Boston University researchers identify an 80 gene signature using microarray testing that detects lung cancer at early stages in smokers and even reveals pre cancerous changes in normal tissue. Led by Dr Avrum Spira the study compares to a molecular Pap smear signaling a shift toward personalized lung cancer medicine. The findings appear in Nature Medicine.

Off label drug use in children at pediatric hospitals
A study in Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine reports nearly 80 percent of hospitalized children at academic pediatric centers received at least one medicine outside FDA age labeling. The research analyzed 90 drugs across 355,409 patients at 31 hospitals in 2004, noting higher off label use among the sickest and surgical patients.
