20080299566 | Methylation of Gene Promoters as a Predictor of Effectiveness of Therapy - The present invention provides methods for identifying, diagnosing, evaluating or monitoring a disease state in a subject comprising identifying the methylation status of a panel of genes in the subject. The present invention also relates to identifying, diagnosing, evaluating or monitoring the responsiveness of a subject to a therapeutic regimen, with the methods comprising determining the methylation status of a panel of genes in the subject. | 12-04-2008 |
20090111120 | METHYLATION OF GENES AS A PREDICTOR OF POLYP FORMATION AND RECURRENCE - The present invention provides methods for identifying or assessing probabilities for developing an abnormal condition in subject and for the recurrence of the abnormal condition in the subject after receiving treatment. The method comprises determining the methylation status of at least one gene in the subject and comparing this methylation status to normal methylation status. Differences between the methylation status of the one or more genes is indicative of the subject developing an abnormal condition or for the recurrence of the abnormal conditions after receiving treatment. | 04-30-2009 |
20100183511 | SMALL PEPTIDES SPECIFICALLY BIND TO COLORECTAL CANCERS - Cancers are extremely heterogeneous in terms of the frequency and types of mutations present in different malignant tumors. Thus, it is likely that uniform clinical treatment is not optimal for all patients, and that the development of individualized therapeutic regimens may be beneficial. Multiple, unique small peptides bind to cell lines derived from different colon adenocarcinomas. Within two hours of contact, the colorectal cancer cells are able to transfer a | 07-22-2010 |
20100285466 | ESOPHAGEAL CANCER MARKERS - The present invention is directed to methods for diagnosing cancer in a subject. Morphologically normal epithelial cells of the esophagus are assayed for marker expression. Characteristic expression of the markers indicates the presence of cancer or the predisposition to cancer. A panel of eleven markers are particularly good at identifying cancer and the predisposition to cancer. | 11-11-2010 |
20130209359 | Small Peptides Specifically Bind to Colorectal Cancers - Cancers are extremely heterogeneous in terms of the frequency and types of mutations present in different malignant tumors. Thus, it is likely that uniform clinical treatment is not optimal for all patients, and that the development of individualized therapeutic regimens may be beneficial. Multiple, unique small peptides bind to cell lines derived from different colon adenocarcinomas. Within two hours of contact, the colorectal cancer cells are able to transfer a | 08-15-2013 |
20140031246 | CIRCULATING MICRORNAS ARE BIOMARKERS OF VARIOUS DISEASES - The present invention relates to the field of biomarkers. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of biomarkers to diagnose and monitor various diseases such as cancer. | 01-30-2014 |
20140031258 | SERUM-BASED MIRNA MICROARRAY AND ITS USE IN DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF BARRETT'S ESOPHAGUS (BE) AND ESOPHAGEAL ADENOCARCINOMA (EAC) - Robust and reliable molecular diagnostic screening tools for early detection of esophageal and gastrointestinal tract cancers and pre-cancerous lesions, such as Barrett's Esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma are provided. Included in the invention is an array of miRNA probes specific for identifying, diagnosing and prognosticating esophageal and gastrointestinal tract cancers and pre-cancerous lesions in subjects from blood or serum samples. A biochip comprising the array as well as methods for its use are also provided. | 01-30-2014 |
20140206565 | Esophageal Cancer Markers - The present invention is directed to methods for diagnosing cancer in a subject. Morphologically normal epithelial cells of the esophagus are assayed for marker expression. Characteristic expression of the markers indicates the presence of cancer or the predisposition to cancer. A panel of eleven markers are particularly good at identifying cancer and the predisposition to cancer. | 07-24-2014 |
