摘要:
Methods and compositions for the diagnosis, prognosis and/or treatment of esophageal adenocarcinoma and Barrett's esophagus associated adenocarcinoma are disclosed, along with more markers where a difference is indicative of esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, and/or Barrett's esophagus associated adenocarcinomas or a predisposition thereto. The invention also provides methods and compositions of identifying anti-cancer agents therefor.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for determining the prognosis of a subject with an adenocarcinoma in an organ, such as the lung. The methods can include quantitating expression of a plurality of cytokines of interest, such as IL-lα, IL-Ib, IL-2, IL-8, IL-IO, IL- 12, IL-15, IFN-γ and TNF-a in the adenocarcinoma and in non-cancerous tissue in the organ. Altered expression of IL-la, IL-Ib, IL-2, IL-8, IL-IO, IL-12, IL-15, IFN-γ and TNF- a in the adenocarcinoma as compared to a control and in non-cancerous tissue in the organ as compared to a control determines the prognosis for the subject. Methods for determining if a therapeutic agent is effective as an anti-cancer agent are also disclosed.
