摘要:
A method of predicting clinical outcome for a human subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer following surgical resection of said cancer is disclosed. A normalized expression level is determined of an RNA transcript of MYBL2, or an expression product thereof, in a biological sample comprising cancer cells obtained from said human subject. The likelihood of a positive clinical outcome for said human subject is then predicted based on said normalized expression level, wherein normalized expression of an RNA transcript of MYBL2, or an expression product thereof, is positively correlated with an increased likelihood of a positive clinical outcome.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of screening for markers useful in predicting the efficacy of a specified cancer that includes: (a) constructing a tissue microarray from a tissue bank comprising multiple tissue samples that are annotated with clinical follow up data; (b) labeling polynucleic acid probes specific for oncogenes or cancer associated genes known to be potential amplicons; (c) performing fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis on the tissue microarray; and (d) correlating the result of the fluorescent in situ hybridization with the clinical follow up data. In addition, the present invention provides a method of treating breast cancer that includes measuring the expression levels or amplification of HTPAP in a patient having breast cancer and then providing a patient having increased levels of HTPAP expression or HTPAP amplification with therapeutic quantities of at least one compound that interferes with the phosphatidic acid phosphatase activity of HTPAP. The present invention also encompasses a method of treating breast cancer that includes screening a breast cancer patient for amplification of the cMYC gene and then treating a patient having amplification of the cMYC gene with therapeutic quantities of a compound that interferes with HER2 signaling.

Abstract: The present invention provides gene sets the expression of which is important in the diagnosis and/or prognosis of cancer, in particular of breast cancer.
摘要:
The present invention relates to quantitative molecular indicators that can guide clinical decisions in breast cancer, such as estrogen receptor (ESR1)-positive, lymph node-negative breast cancer. In particular, the invention concerns certain genes, the varied expression of which indicates the likelihood of recurrence of surgically resected breast cancer in patients who are not treated with a therapeutic agent in the adjuvant setting. In addition, the invention concerns the use of quantitative measurement of the expression of certain genes, including the ESR1 gene, that measures as a continuous variable, to determine (a) the likelihood of a beneficial response to the anti-estrogen therapeutic agent, such as tamoxifen; and (b) the potential magnitude of beneficial response to chemotheraphy.
