    摘要: New methods for identifying patents with hematuria who are at low risk of having urothelial cancer (UC) include combining selected phenotypic variables with levels of genotypic expression into a new metric, the “G+P INDEX.” The G+P INDEX combines age, sex, smoking history, presence of hematuria, and frequency of hematuria with genotypic expression of the genetic markers, MDK, CDC2, HOXA13, IGFBP5, and optionally IL8Rb, then determining of the G+P INDEX value obtained for a patient is within one of three groups, either: (1) at High Risk of UC, (2) at Risk of UC, or (3) at Low Risk of UC. For groups 1 and 2, further clinical and laboratory work up is indicated, and patients in group 3 are monitored periodically to determine the need for further clinical workup. Using the G+P INDEX can save substantial time, effort, and funds by avoiding unnecessary medical diagnostic procedures for patients at Low Risk of UC.

    摘要: This invention relates to prognostic signatures, and compositions and methods for determining the prognosis of cancer in a patient, particularly for colorectal cancer. Specifically, this invention relates to the use of genetic markers for the prediction of the prognosis of cancer, such as colorectal cancer, based on signatures of genetic markers. In various aspects, the invention relates to a method of predicting the likelihood of long-term survival of a cancer patient, a method of determining a treatment regime for a cancer patient, a method of preparing a treatment modality for a cancer patient, among other methods as well as kits and devices for carrying out these methods.

    摘要: Early detection of tumors is a major determinant of survival of patients suffering from tumors, including gastric tumors. Members of the GTM gene family can be differentially expressed in gastric tumor tissue, and thus can be used as markers for the detection of gastric and other types of cancer. The present invention provides for novel GTMs for the detection of tumors, including gastric tumors, and in particular human zymogen granule protein 16 (ZG16). The GTMs can be used in isolation or together with other known GTMs to provide for novel signatures to be used in the detection of tumors, including gastric tumors.

    摘要: Early detection of tumors is a major determinant of survival of patients suffering from tumors, including gastric tumors. Members of the GTM gene family can be over-expressed in gastric tumor tissue and other tumor tissue, and thus can be used as markers for gastric and other types of cancer. GTM proteins can be released from cancer cells, and can reach sufficiently high concentrations in the serum and/or other fluids to permit their detection. Thus, methods and test kits for detection and quantification of GTM can provide a valuable tool for diagnosis of gastric cancer.
