Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for assessing an ovarian cancer patient's survival status. Also, methods for evaluating the ovarian cancer state of a patient are described herein. These methods involve the detection, analysis, and classification of biological patterns in biological samples. The biological patterns are obtained using, for example, mass spectrometry systems and other techniques.
Abstract:
The present invention provides protein-based biomarkers andjbiomarker combinations that are useful in qualifying ovarian cancer status in a patient. In particular, it has been found that the biomarkers set forth in Table 1 are biomarkers for ovarian cancer. The biomarkers can be detected by SELDI mass spectrometry.
Abstract:
The invention provides biomarkers including ß -2-microglobulin, Cystatin C, hsCRP and glucose as well as methods for using the biomarkers for diagnosing and/or assessing the risk of peripheral artery disease in a subject. In some embodiments, the subject being tested may be suffering from or at risk of other circulatory diseases, including coronary artery disease.
Abstract:
The present invention provides protein-based biomarkers and biomarker combinations that are useful in qualifying ovarian cancer status in a patient. In particular, the biomarkers of this invention are useful to classify a subject sample as ovarian cancer or non-ovarian cancer. The biomarkers can be detected by SELDI mass spectrometry.
Abstract:
The present invention provides protein-based biomarkers and biomarker combinations that are useful in qualifying breast cancer status in a patient. In particular, the biomarkers of this invention are useful to determine metastasis-free survival of breast cancer patients. The biomarkers can be detected by SELDI mass spectrometry.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of qualifying ovarian cancer status in a subject comprising: (a) measuring at least one biomarker in a sample from the subject and (b) correlating the measurement with ovarian cancer status. The invention further relates to kits for qualifying ovarian cancer status in a subject.
Abstract:
The present invention provides biomarkers and biomarker combinations that are useful in qualifying SARS status in a patient. In addition, the present invention provides diagnostic methodology employing these biomarkers and combinations thereof that can distinguish between SARS and normal.
