Increased angiogenesis is associated with a 32-gene expression signature and 6p21 amplification in aggressive endometrial cancer
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis is a hallmark of cancer. The aim of this study was to explore whether microvessel proliferation is associated with gene expression profiles or copy number alterations in endometrial cancer. METHODS A prospective series of endometrial carcinomas was studied for angiogenesis markers, gene expression profiles, and gene copy number data. For validation, an independent seri...
متن کاملNine-gene molecular signature is not associated with prostate cancer death in a watchful waiting cohort.
Tumor molecular markers hold promise to distinguish potentially lethal from indolent prostate cancer and to guide treatment choices. A previous study identified a nine-gene molecular signature in tumors associated with prostate-specific antigen relapse after prostatectomy. We examined this molecular model in relation to prostate cancer death among 172 men with initially localized disease. We qu...
متن کاملGene expression signature of Gleason score is associated with prostate cancer outcomes in a radical prostatectomy cohort
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Gleason score (GS) is one of the best predictors of PCa aggressiveness, but additional tumor biomarkers may improve its prognostic accuracy. We developed a gene expression signature of GS to enhance the prediction of PCa outcomes. Elastic net was used to construct a gene expression signature by contrasting GS 8-10 v...
متن کاملInterspecies comparison of prostate cancer gene-expression profiles reveals genes associated with aggressive tumors.
Prostate cancer (PC) is a heterogeneous disease whose aggressive phenotype is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men. The identification of key molecules and pathways that play a pivotal role in PC progression towards an aggressive form is crucial. A major effort towards this end has been taken by global analyses of gene expression profiles. However, the large body of data did ...
متن کاملExpression of variant TMPRSS2/ERG fusion messenger RNAs is associated with aggressive prostate cancer.
Recent studies have reported that the majority of prostate cancers express fusion genes in which the 5' region of the androgen-regulated TMPRSS2 gene is fused to an ETS family transcription factor, most commonly the ERG gene. We have characterized in detail the expression of TMPRSS2/ERG fusion mRNAs and correlated the isoforms expressed and expression levels with clinical outcome in cancers fro...
