Abstract:
The invention provides diagnostic methods, kits, and systems, and related computer-readable media, which use multiple blood marker values, including serum and plasma marker values, to aid in the diagnosis of the status or progress of a liver disease in a patient.The invention also provides methods and systems, and related computer-readable media, that use blood marker values, including serum and plasma marker values: (1) to screen for active ingredients useful in the treatment of a liver disease; (2) to aid in the selection of treatment regimens for patients that are predisposed to, or suffer from, liver disease; and (3) to aid in the design of clinical programs useful in monitoring the status or progress of liver disease in one or more patients.
Abstract:
Method for the prediction of the response to epirubicin/cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy of a breast cancer in a patient, from a tumour sample of said patient, comprising steps of determining the expression level of a group of marker genes consisting of (i) a first marker gene selected from the group consisting of MLPH, SPDEF, and AKR7A3; and (ii) a pair of second marker genes selected from the group of pairs consisting of (H2BFS and UBE2S), (BGN and ZBTB16), (ZBTB16 and EMP1), (LGALS8 and UBE2S) and (OLFML2B and ZBTB16); and (iii) a third marker gene selected from the group consisting of CYBA, ACP5, a gene specifically binding to Affymetrix probe set ID 210915 x at, LCK, GSTM3; classifying said sample as belonging to one of several breast cancer response classes from the expression levels determined; predicting the response of said breast cancer in said patient to chemotherapy from previously known characteristic properties of tumours of said one of several breast cancer response classes.

Abstract:
The invention relates to compounds which contain an antigen binding region which is bound to at least one enzyme which is able to metabolize a compound (prodrug) which has little or no cytotoxicity to a cytotoxic compound (drug), where the antigen binding region is composed of a single polypeptide chain. It is advantageous for covalently bonded carbohydrates to be present on the polypeptide chain.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for predicting a response of a tumor in a patient suffering from or at risk of developing recurrent gynecologic cancer towards a chemotherapeutic agent, said method comprising the steps of: a) obtaining a biological sample from said patient; b) determining the pattern of expression level of at least one gene of the group comprising AKR1C1, MLPH, ESR1, PGR, COMP, DCN, IGKC, CCL5, FBN1 and/or UBE2C, or of genes coregulated therewith, in said sample; c) comparing the pattern of expression levels determined in (b) with one or several reference pattern (s) of expression levels; d) identifying at least one marker gene; e) determining a molecular subtype for said sample on the basis of (d); and f) predicting from said molecular subtype response of a tumor for a chemotherapeutic agent, wherein the molecular subtype is selected from the group comprising the subtypes basal, stromal-high, stromal-low, luminal A, immune system-high, immune system-low, proliferation-high and/or proliferation-low.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of prognosis of a proliferative disease in a patient. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for the identification of the likely outcome of breast cancer in a breast cancer patient. The invention also relates to methods for the identification of the likely outcome of breast cancer in a patient on the basis of the ERBB2 status of the patient and expression levels of immune genes in tumour tissue of said patient.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for prediction of an outcome of neoplastic disease or cancer. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for the prediction of breast cancer by determining in a biological sample from said patient an expression level of a plurality of genes selected from the group consisting of ACTG1, CA12, CALM2, CCND1, CHPT1, CLEC2B, CTSB, CXCL13, DCN, DHRS2, EIF4B, ERBB2, ESR1, FBXO28, GABRP, GAPDH, H2AFZ, IGFBP3, IGHG1, IGKC, KCTD3, KIAA0101, KRT17, MLPH, MMP1, NAT1, NEK2, NR2F2, OAZ1, PCNA, PDLIM5, PGR, PPIA, PRC1, RACGAP1, RPL37A, SOX4, TOP2A, UBE2C and VEGF.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods, kits and systems for the prognosis of the disease outcome of breast cancer in untreated breast cancer patients. More specific, the present invention relates to the prognosis of breast cancer based on measurements of the expression levels of marker genes in tumor samples of breast cancer patients. Marker genes are disclosed which allow for an accurate prognosis of breast cancer in patients having node negative, fast proliferating breast cancer.
