  • Patent number: 11078538
    Abstract: The disclosure includes the identification and use of gene expression profiles, or patterns, with clinical relevance to extended treatment and cancer-free survival in a patient. In particular, the disclosure includes the identities of genes that are expressed in correlation with benefit in a switch in endocrine therapy used to treat a patient. The levels of gene expression are disclosed as a molecular index for predicting clinical outcome, and so prognosis, for the patient. The disclosure further includes methods for predicting cancer recurrence, and/or predicting occurrence of metastatic cancer, after initial treatment with an anti-estrogen agent. The disclosure further includes methods for determining or selecting the treatment of a subject based upon the likelihood of life expectancy, cancer recurrence, and/or cancer metastasis.

  • Publication number: 20100047787
    Abstract: The disclosure includes the identification and use of gene expression profiles, or patterns, with clinical relevance to prostate cancer. In particular, the disclosure is based on the identities of genes that are correlated with patient survival and prostate cancer recurrence. The gene expression profiles may be embodied in nucleic acid expression, protein expression, or other expression formats and used to predict the survival of subjects afflicted with prostate cancer and to predict prostate cancer recurrence. The profiles may also be used in the study and/or diagnosis of prostate cancer cells and tissue as well as for the study and/or determination of prognosis of a patient. When used for diagnosis or prognosis, the profiles may be used to determine the treatment of prostate cancer based upon probable life expectancy and cancer recurrence and/or metastasis.
