Abstract: Provided is a method for diagnosing and monitoring progression of cancer or effectiveness of a therapeutic treatment. The method includes detecting a methylation level of at least one gene in a biological sample containing circulating free DNA. Also provided are primer pairs and probes for diagnosis or prognosis of cancer in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating or ameliorating malignant diseases, such as cancers. Also provided herein are methods of increasing the immunity of an immune cell toward malignant cells.

Abstract: This invention generally relates to a composition and method of using mam-made small RNAs, such as small interfering RNAs (siRNA), microRNAs (miRNA) and their hairpin-like precursors (pre-miRNA), as tumor suppressing anti-cancer drugs for treating human tumors and cancers, in particular, but not limited, for treating skin (melanoma), blood (leukemia), prostate, breast, liver and lung cancers as well as various neoplastic tumors, such as brain tumors and teratocarcinomas that contain a variety of tumorous and cancerous cells derived from all three germ layers of tissues, including ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of miR-302-like siRNA (siR-302) and/or miR-302 precursors (pre-miR-302) for developing novel medicines and therapies against a variety of human cancers, in particular lung cancers.
