Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for determining the oxygen status of a cancer of an individual. The method comprise determining the transcriptional expression level of ADM (SEQ ID No:1), and/or at least one gene selected from ANKRD37 (SEQ ID NO.: 3), P4HA2 (SEQ ID NO.: 12), NDRG1 (SEQ ID NO: 10), SLC2A1 (SEQ ID NO:15), P4HA1 (SEQ ID NO.: 11), LOX (SEQ ID NO.: 9), C3orf28 (SEQ ID NO.: 6), BNIP3L (SEQ ID NO.: 5), BNIP3 (SEQ ID NO.:4), EGLN3 (SEQ ID NO.: 7), PDK1 (SEQ ID NO.: 13), PFKFB3 (SEQ ID NO.: 14), KCTD11 (SEQ ID NO.: 8), and/or ALDOA (SEQ ID NO.: 2), in a cancer sample. The transcriptional level is then correlated to the transcriptional level to at least one reference gene, and oxygen status 10 is then evaluated by comparing the correlated transcription level with a predetermined reference sample comprising cancer cells characterized by a high oxygen level.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the treatment of an EGFR-associated tumor comprising administration, to an individual in need thereof, of an anti-EGFR antibody in combination with radiotherapy and a radiosensitising agent. In one embodiment, the treatment further comprises administration of a chemotherapeutic agent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to treatment or prevention of radiation induced fibrosis using TNF-alpha antagonism. Preferably, TNF-alpha is antagonized by direct binding or by inhibition of synthesis. In a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises intraperitoneal administration of a chitosan-siRNA nanoparticle, wherein the siRNA is targeted to the mRNA encoding TNF-alpha.
