Urinary biomarkers predict brain tumor presence and response to therapy.
PURPOSE A major difficulty in treating brain tumors is the lack of effective methods of identifying novel or recurrent disease. In this study, we have evaluated the efficacy of urinary matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) as diagnostic biomarkers for brain tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Urine, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissue specimens were collected from patients with brain tumors. Zymography, ELISA,...
متن کاملPartially exhausted tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes predict response to combination immunotherapy.
BACKGROUND Programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibition activates partially exhausted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (peCTLs) and induces tumor regression. We previously showed that the peCTL fraction predicts response to anti-PD-1 monotherapy. Here, we sought to correlate peCTL and regulatory T lymphocyte (Treg) levels with response to combination immunotherapy, and with demographic/disease characteristics, ...
متن کاملUse of Apoptotic Biomarkers to Predict Response to Radiotherapy in Breast Cancer Patients
Introduction: To enhance radiation therapy efficiency it is crucial to implement an individual-based treatment. The aim of present study was to identify the mechanism of intrinsic apoptosis pathway on radiosensitivity and normal tissue complications caused by the radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: radiation-induced apoptosis in periphera...
متن کاملGenotyping Oral Commensal Bacteria to Predict Social Contact and Structure
Social network structure is a fundamental determinant of human health, from infectious to chronic diseases. However, quantitative and unbiased approaches to measuring social network structure are lacking. We hypothesized that genetic relatedness of oral commensal bacteria could be used to infer social contact between humans, just as genetic relatedness of pathogens can be used to determine tran...
متن کاملThiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) genotyping to predict myelosuppression risk
Azathioprine (AZA), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), and thioguanine (TG) are thiopurine drugs. These agents are indicated for the treatment of various diseases including hematologic malignancies, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis, and as immunosuppressants in solid organ transplants. Thiopurine drugs are metabolized, in part, by thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT). TPMT displays g...
