摘要:
The invention provides a method for determining prostate cancer-associated disease state in an individual comprising or consisting of the steps of: (a) providing a sample to be tested from the individual; and (b) determining a biomarker signature of the test sample by measuring the expression in the test sample of one or more biomarkers selected from the group defined in Table 1; wherein the expression in the test sample of the one or more biomarkers selected from the group defined in Table 1 is indicative of one or more prostate cancer-associated disease state in the individual. The invention also provides arrays and kits for use in the same.
摘要:
The present invention describes a method for detecting NEPC in a patient afflicted with prostate cancer comprising (a) performing a direct analysis comprising immunofluorescent staining and morphological characterization of nucleated cells in a blood sample obtained from the patient to detect circulating tumor cells (CTC), and (b) determining presence or absence of a CTC subpopulation associated with NEPC comprising detecting a measurable feature of each biomarker in a panel of morphological and protein biomarkers, wherein the presence of the CTC subpopulation associated with NEPC is indicative of NEPC. In other embodiments, the biomarkers for the CTC subpopulation associated with NEPC comprise small size, absence of Androgen Receptor (AR−), and presence of nucleoli (nucleoli+). In additional embodiments, the methods of the invention further comprise molecular analysis of the CTCs.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods and systems of molecular profiling of diseases, such as cancer. In some embodiments, the molecular profiling can be used to identify treatments for a disease, such as treatments that were not initially identified as a treatment for the disease or not expected to be a treatment for a particular disease.
摘要:
The invention features diagnostic and therapeutic methods and compositions featuring androgen receptor variant proteins and nucleic acid molecules whose expression is increased in androgen related diseases or disorders.
摘要:
The present invention relates to diagnostic imaging and in particular to the diagnostic imaging and therapy of cancer by means of compositions which specifically target the FSH Receptor expressed by tumor endothelial cells and circulating blood cells.
摘要:
This disclosure relates biomarkers of cancer, e.g. prostate cancer. The biomarkers may be altered expression of nucleic acids, mutations, or proteins encoded therefrom. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods for diagnosing pro-state cancer, methods of distinguishing between less aggressive and high aggressive prostate cancer, methods of determining predisposition to recurrence of prostate cancer, methods of monitoring progression/regression of prostate cancer, methods of assessing efficacy of compositions for treating prostate cancer, and methods of screening compositions for activity in modulating biomarkers of prostate cancer.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least three primary antibodies or fragments thereof, wherein the at least three antibodies or fragments thereof binds specifically to at least three different proteins, and wherein the at least three different proteins are AMCAR, CK 5/6, and HMWC. Methods for using the composition in diagnosis, prognosis, and assessing efficacy of treatment is further included as well as kits comprising said composition, and optionally, instructions of its use.
摘要:
The invention features diagnostic and therapeutic methods and compositions featuring androgen receptor variant proteins and nucleic acid molecules whose expression is increased in androgen related diseases or disorders.
摘要:
In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating a subject suffering from a breast cancer tumor which is non-responsive or intrinsically resistant to anti-estrogen therapy comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of alternative (ALT) non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) factor to the subject.In another embodiment the invention provides a method of treating a subject who suffers from a pancreatic cancer which is non-responsive to chemotherapy and/or radiation comprising co-administering a therapeutically effective amount of PARP1 inhibitor and a DNA ligase IIIα inhibitor to the subject. Related diagnostic methods, nucleic acid arrays, devices and kits are also provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to detection and/or treatment of a subset of prostate cancer patients who may benefit from taxane treatment. The method comprises testing whether an androgen receptor (AR) splice variant is present in a test sample obtained from the patient, wherein the androgen receptor variant can be ARv5,6,7 or ARv7, or a combination thereof.
