  • SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM FOR PREDICTING RECURRENCE OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA
    Publication number: 20130023442
    Abstract: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for predicting recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative surgical resection are provided. The SNPs have a significant correlation with higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after curative surgical resection. Therefore, the SNPs can be used in developing micro-arrays or test kits for predicting recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma, and in screening drugs to prevent recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative surgical resection.

  • SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM FOR PREDICTING PROGNOSIS OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA
    Publication number: 20130017975
    Abstract: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for predicting prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative surgical resection are provided. The SNPs have a significant correlation with an over-expression of MTA1 which is useful prognostic factor for prediction of prognosis or poor survival after curative surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, the SNPs can be used in developing micro-arrays or test kits for prediction of the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, and in screening drugs to improve poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma after curative surgical resection.

  • METHOD FOR DIAGNOSIS OF POST-OPERATIVE RECURRENCE IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA
    Publication number: 20110171661
    Abstract: Provided are a method of diagnosing the recurrence or possibility of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatocellular carcinoma surgery and a method of screening a drug for preventing the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatocellular carcinoma surgery and treating hepatocellular carcinoma. Specifically, the recurrence or possibility of recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatocellular carcinoma surgery is diagnosed and a drug for preventing the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after surgery and treating hepatocellular carcinoma is screened, by measuring expression levels of a metastatic tumor antigen 1 or metastasis associated 1 (MTA1) protein in a biological sample taken from a patient in which hepatocellular carcinoma recurs or is likely to recur after hepatocellular carcinoma surgery and comparing the measured expression levels of the MTA1 protein with those of a normal control group.
