摘要:
A method of diagnosing bladder cancer in a patient comprising contacting a sample of urothelial cells obtained from the patient with a set of detectably labeled probes comprising locus- specific probes for c-myc and AURKA and centromeric probes for chromosomes 7 and 17 under hybridization conditions, and determining the presence of chromosomal abnormalities, wherein the presence of chromosomal abnormalities involving at least two of the detectably labeled probes indicates that the patient has bladder cancer; a method of monitoring recurrence of bladder cancer in a patient; a set of probes comprising locus-specific probes for c-myc and AURKA and centromeric probes for chromosomes 7 and 17; and a kit comprising (a) the set of probes and (b) instructions for diagnosing bladder cancer, or monitoring the recurrence thereof, in a patient.
摘要:
A method of preparing cells from a patient specimen comprising a tissue or a clump of cells; a method of in situ hybridization (ISH) or immunohistochemistry (IHC); a method of theranosing a patient's response to an active agent that targets the tyrosine kinase pathway; an improvement of a method of theranosis comprising the method of ISH or IHC; a cell support on the surface of which are cells, which have been contacted with detectably labeled probes with the method of ISH or IHC; and a kit comprising (a) a cell support and/or at least one probe for ISH or IHC, and (b) instructions for carrying out the method of ISH or IHC on a cell support.
