MACC1 mRNA levels predict cancer recurrence after resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases.
OBJECTIVE Upon colon cancer metastasis resection in liver, disease outcome is heterogeneous, ranging from indolent to very aggressive, with early recurrence. The aim of this study is to investigate the capability of metastasis associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1) levels measured in liver metastasis specimens to predict further recurrence of the disease. METHODS Gene expression and gene dosage...
متن کاملGenetic and expression analysis of MET, MACC1, and HGF in metastatic colorectal cancer: response to met inhibition in patient xenografts and pathologic correlations.
PURPOSE We determined the gene copy numbers for MET, for its transcriptional activator MACC1 and for its ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma (mCRC). We correlated copy numbers with mRNA levels and explored whether gain and/or overexpression of MET and MACC1 predict response to anti-Met therapies. Finally, we assessed whether their genomic or trans...
متن کاملReduction in recurrence risk for involved or inadequate margins with edge cryotherapy after liver resection for colorectal metastases.
HYPOTHESIS The usefulness of additional edge cryotherapy after liver resection for liver metastases from colorectal cancer to improve involved or inadequate (less than 1 cm) margins is uncertain. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. SETTING Department of surgery at a university hospital. PATIENTS Eighty-six consecutive patients with hepatic metastases from colore...
متن کاملPredictors of recurrence after a first hepatectomy for colorectal cancer liver metastases: a retrospective analysis
BACKGROUND Surgical resection is considered the standard therapy in the treatment of liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CRCLM); however, most patients experience tumor recurrence after curative hepatic resection. The objective was to determine potential prognostic factors for tumor recurrence after an initial hepatectomy for CRCLM. METHODS A study population of 101 patients who had unde...
متن کاملCirculating MACC1 Transcripts in Colorectal Cancer Patient Plasma Predict Metastasis and Prognosis
BACKGROUND Metastasis is the most frequent cause of treatment failure and death in colorectal cancer. Early detection of tumors and metastases is crucial for improving treatment strategies and patient outcome. Development of reliable biomarkers and simple tests routinely applicable in the clinic for detection, prognostication, and therapy monitoring is of special interest. We recently identifie...
