Predicting the risk of cancer recurrence for better survival rates    Your cancer treatment is done and scans show no evidence of disease. But will your cancer come back? For many cancer survivors, this question is an ever-present part of daily life. Researchers at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center are working to improve survivorship by developing innovative diagnostic tools to determine which patients are at higher risk for a recurrence so they can be closely monitored, and a return of cancer can be caught early when it is most treatable.

January is #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth, an annual observance highlighting the fact that there are 11,500 new cases of cervical cancer—and 4,000 deaths—in the U.S. every year. Cervical cancer begins when healthy cells in the cervix mutate and become malignant (cancerous). The cancer cells form tumors when they multiply and grow out of control.
