Seprase aids in the assessment of pulmonary or lung cancer (LC) or of colon cancer, e.g., of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) or colorectal cancer (CRC), but also likely of other specific types of cancer. Such specific cancer types are, e.g., esophagus, head and neck cancer, stomach cancer, bile duct cancer, pancreas cancer, kidney cancer, cervix cancer, ovary cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, endometrium cancer or prostate cancer. Furthermore, it especially relates to a method for assessing cancer from a liquid sample, derived from an individual by measuring seprase in said sample. Measurement of seprase can, e.g., be used in the early detection of cancer or in the surveillance of patients who undergo surgery. | 09-23-2010 |

20080256101 | KEYWORD-BASED CONTENT MANAGEMENT - A method, implementable in a system coupled to a network, includes accessing a first portion of a memory device coupled to the network. The first portion has stored thereon information characterizing an entity. An information set of a predetermined information type is gathered from the first portion. First and second information subsets of the information set are organized into first and second keywords. A second portion of a memory device coupled to the network is accessed. The second portion has stored thereon a plurality of data sets. First and second subsets of the data sets are identified. Each data set of the first data-set subset includes the first keyword, and each data set of the second data-set subset includes the second keyword. The first data-set subset is stored in a third portion of a memory device coupled to the network. | 10-16-2008 |
20080270453 | KEYWORD-BASED CONTENT MANAGEMENT - A method, implementable in a system coupled to a network, includes accessing a first portion of a memory device coupled to the network. The first portion has stored thereon a plurality of data sets. A plurality of discrete alphanumeric strings associated with each data set of the plurality is identified. A listing of the data sets is stored in a second portion of a memory device coupled to the network. Each respective data set is cross-referenced in the listing to a respective set of alphanumeric strings including only those alphanumeric strings identified as being associated with the respective data set. After storing the data-set listing, a first alphanumeric keyword is received from a user. A first set of the data sets is identified from the listing. Each data set of the first data-set set includes the first keyword. In response to identifying the first data-set set, the first data-set set is automatically stored in a third portion of a memory device coupled to the network. | 10-30-2008 |
