Predictive and prognostic markers in neuro-oncology.
Over the past few years molecular assays have been introduced to aid in typing and grading of gliomas. This is the result of improved understanding of these tumors at the molecular level. In particular, the presence or absence of combined 1p/19 loss in oligodendroglial tumors, epidermal growth factor receptor amplification, epidermal growth factor receptor vIII mutations in grade III tumors and...
متن کاملAB162. Prognostic and predictive value of epigenetic biomarkers and clinical factors in upper tract urothelial carcinoma
AIM We conducted this study to identify gene promoter methylation status and clinical predictors for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients. MATERIALS & METHODS Using methylation-sensitive PCR, we examined ten genes promoter methylation status in 687 UTUC patients. RESULTS A methylated promoter of three genes to predict higher tumor stage (T3 and T4), five genes to predict higher ...
متن کاملClinical trial designs for evaluating the medical utility of prognostic and predictive biomarkers in oncology.
Physicians need improved tools for selecting treatments for individual patients. Many diagnostic entities hat were traditionally viewed as individual diseases are heterogeneous in their molecular pathogenesis and treatment responsiveness. This results in the treatment of many patients with ineffective drugs, incursion of substantial medical costs for the treatment of patients who do not benefit...
متن کاملPrognostic and predictive biomarkers in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
AJA Biomarkers are any manifestation of a biological process, particularly in patients, that can be measured quantitatively. They can reflect either normal (physiologic) or disease (pathophysiologic) processes. Biomarkers are used in various contexts in prostate cancer. Prognostic biomarkers are related to the natural history of a disease over time, whereas predictive biomarkers are linked to t...
متن کاملPrognostic and predictive biomarkers in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are a diverse group of tumors that derive from epithelial cells with neuroendocrine differentiation. Gastroenteropancreatic NETs are a subset of NET that arise from the gastrointestinal tract. The natural history and prognosis varies widely between different gastroenteropancreatic NETs, highlighting the importance of identifying accurate prognostic and predictive bio...
