摘要:
A two-tiered classification system that can be integrated with the current algorithm used by pathologists for identification of the site of origin for ‘malignancy with unknown primary’ is presented. In use, morphology, immunohistochemical (IHC) studies, and microarray-based top tier gene expression classifiers first subclassify cytokeratin positive carcinomas into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Subsequently, organ-specific IHC-markers, if available, are used in conjunction with microarray-based second tier gene expression classifiers to assign the primary site of origin to the sample. This new hybrid approach combines IHC with a hierarchy of quantitative gene expression based classifiers into an algorithmic method that can assist pathologists to further refine and support their decision making process.

摘要:
Computers, computer program products, and methods for identifying a plurality of subjects for a clinical trial are provided. A candidate set of molecular profiles in a stored plurality of molecular profiles are identified. Each such profile has measurements for a discriminating set of cellular constituents that match the measurements of corresponding cellular constituents in a responder set of biological samples, thereby identifying the plurality of subjects for the trial from those subjects from which the candidate set of molecular profiles were derived. Each respective molecular profile in the stored plurality of profiles has measurements of a plurality of cellular constituents from a respective biological sample in a plurality of samples obtained from a first plurality of subjects. The discriminating set of cellular constituents is identified from those cellular constituents in the plurality of cellular constituents whose measurement values discriminates between the responder and nonresponder sets of biological samples.

摘要:
The present invention pertains to specific gene signatures for cancer that are used to predict survival and novel processes for identifying such gene signatures. In one embodiment, gene signatures for human colorectal cancer are identified and outcomes are linked to the specific gene signatures using significance analysis of microarrays (SAM) and support vector machines (SVM) to provide a prognosis/survival classifier.
摘要:
In one aspect, methods, markers, and expression signatures are disclosed for assessing the degree to which a cell sample has epithelial cell-like properties or mesenchymal cell-like properties. In another aspect, methods are provided for predicting cancer patient prognosis based on whether the cancer is classified as having a high or low EMT Signature Score.
