  • DIAGNOSING IDH1 RELATED SUBGROUPS AND TREATMENT OF CANCER
    Publication number: 20200340066
    Abstract: The invention relates to classification, diagnosis and treatment of cancers. In one embodiment, the present invention provides methods and kits that classify cancers into various subtypes based on expression patterns of AKT pathway components. In another embodiment, the present invention provides methods and kits that diagnose cancer subtypes by evaluating expression patterns of AKT pathway components. In still another embodiment, the present invention provides methods and kits that treat a cancer subtype by administering an alkylating agent or a PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor to a patient. Cancers suitable with various embodiments of the invention include but are not limited to brain tumors, gliomas and GBM.

  • PI3K/AKT PATHWAY SUBGROUPS IN CANCER: METHODS OF USING BIOMARKERS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY
    Publication number: 20120252856
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of dividing cancer into subgroups based upon Akt pathway gene expression. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of diagnosing glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) subtype in an individual by determining the presence of an abnormal expression of an Akt pathway gene cluster and diagnosing the cancer subtype in the individual.
