  • Publication number: 20210220412
    Abstract: In some embodiments, methods of determining that a subject is likely to have cancer are provided. Such methods may include amplifying a microbial DNA sample in a test sample obtained from the subject to determine an amount of microbial DNA in the test sample, wherein the amount of microbial DNA is determined by an amplification or sequencing technique; and determining that the subject is likely to have breast cancer when there is a significantly decreased level of microbial DNA in the test sample when compared to a level of microbial DNA in a control sample. In other embodiments, methods of treating cancer (e.g., breast cancer) are provided. In one aspect, such methods include administering a therapeutically effective dose of a probiotic organism via ductal lavage to a subject suffering from the breast cancer.

  • Patent number: 10182984
    Abstract: Novel chimeric moieties that show significant efficacy against cancers are provided. In certain embodiments the chimeric moieties comprise a targeting moiety attached to an interferon. In certain embodiments, the chimeric moieties comprise fusion proteins where an antibody that specifically binds to a cancer marker is fused to interferon alpha (IFN-?) or interferon beta (IFN-?).
