| 20090011049 | Methylation Markers for Prognosis and Treatment of Cancers - Genes for thirteen DNA damage repair or DNA damage response enzymes can be epigenetically silenced in cancers. The silencing of nucleic acids encoding a DNA repair or DNA damage response enzyme can be used prognostically and for selecting treatments that are well tailored for an individual patient. Combinations of these markers can also be used to provide prognostic information. Kits for testing epigenetic silencing can be used to determine a prognosis or a therapeutic regimen. | 01-08-2009 |
