20090258350 | Diagnostic methods for determining prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer - The invention provides methods for identifying early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who will have a favorable prognosis for the recurrence of lung cancer after surgical resection. The invention is based on the discovery that assessment of chromosomal copy number abnormalities at two or more of chromosome 5p15, 7p12, 8q24 and centromere 6 can be used for prognostic classification. The invention preferably uses fluorescence in situ hybridization with fluorescently labeled nucleic acid probes to hybridize to patient samples to quantify the chromosomal copy number of the these genetic loci. Assessment of the copy number abnormality patterns using four classifiers produced statistically significant prognostic classification for NSCLC: (i) the Range3 pattern of cells showing a difference on a cell by cell basis, of at least three FISH probe signals between the FISH signals at the chromosomal locus with the largest number of FISH signals minus the FISH signals at the chromosomal locus with the lowest number of FISH signals; (ii) the MYC/EGFR % loss pattern assessing the percentage of cells showing fewer MYC FISH probe signals than EGFR FISH probe signals; (iii) a combination of the Range3 pattern and the MYC/CEP6 ratio pattern of a percentage of cells showing a relative loss of MYC FISH probe signals to the FISH probe signal for CEP6; (iv) the combination of the MYC/5p15 ratio pattern showing the relative ratio of MYC and 5p15 locus signals of ≧0.80 and the 5p15/CEP6 ratio pattern assessing percentage of cells having a relative ratio of 5p15 FISH probe signals to CEP6 FISH probe signals ≧1.1 versus MYC/5p15 ratio of <0.80 or 5p15/CEP6<1.1; and (v) a combination of the average range of probe signal differences of equal to or greater than about 2.5 with the Range3 pattern in a percentage of the cells. The invention can be used to identify those early stage NSCLC patients at higher risk of recurrence who should be treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery or with adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. | 10-15-2009 |
20100120027 | PROGNOSTIC TEST FOR EARLY STAGE NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC) - The invention provides methods for identifying early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who will have a favorable prognosis for the recurrence of lung cancer after surgical resection. The invention is based on the discovery that assessment of chromosomal copy number abnormalities at chromosome 10q23.3 and centromere 10 can be used for prognostic classification. The invention preferably uses fluorescence in situ hybridization with fluorescently labeled nucleic acid probes to hybridize to patient samples to quantify the chromosomal copy number of the these genetic loci. The chromosome copy number can also be determined using, for example, PCR or array CGH. Assessment of the copy number abnormality patterns with a classifier based on the relative loss of 10q23.3 signals compared to the centromere 10 signals produced statistically significant prognostic classification for NSCLC. The ratio of PTEN/CEP 10 signals, using a cutoff of 0.80, was capable of dividing patients into a group of 41 (≧0.80) in which 33 (80.5%) had the favorable prognosis, and a group of 18 (<0.80) in which 6 (33.3%) had the favorable prognosis (p=0.0008). Median times to recurrence in the former and latter groups were 83.0 and 13.0 months, respectively (p<0.0001). | 05-13-2010 |

20080293513 | Direction and distance correcting golf putter - A golf putter has a putter head with an actively compliant beam which is parallel to the face of the putter. The beam connects to a shaft along its length and is separated from the head except for its ends. The force of impact between the face of the putter and the ball on the putter face sweet spot causes a stress to develop in the beam, resulting in a deflection in the beam proportional to the force of the impact, while maintaining the putter face orientation with respect to the putting line. Impacts which miss the sweet spot will cause the putter face to skew to an angle with respect to the putting line, also introducing a proportional flexure of the beam, depending on the distance between the sweet spot and the point of impact. The beam has a characteristic time such that as the force between the ball and the putter face decreases to zero after impact, the beam flexure simultaneously recovers causing the putter face to return to its original putting line orientation at almost the same instant the ball leaves the putter face, thereby providing distance and directional correction for mishit putts. Additionally, when a putter head with a suitable moment of inertia is coupled with an actively compliant beam, feel and alignment are substantially enhanced. The putter also uses a unique visual alignment sight line groove on the top surface of the putter head, extending from the face to the back of the putter. The groove is perpendicular to the face of the putter and may have tapered side walls. It is positioned directly above and parallel to the center of mass and the sweet spot, so that it can be positioned directly over the intended putting line when the putter is properly located on the putting surface. The base of the groove has contrasting stripes, so that when the golfer's dominant eye is properly located over the groove, the entire stripped base of the groove is visible to the golfer. | 11-27-2008 |
