    Abstract: Provided are methods of selecting a patient and/or treating a patient afflicted with high-grade serous epithelial that comprises upregulation of CDX2 and for autophagy inhibitor treatment. For example, the method of selecting a patient afflicted with a cancer likely to benefit from an autophagy inhibitor treatment, includes obtaining a biological sample; testing the biological sample for upregulated CDX2; and selecting the patient having a upregulated CDX2, as likely to benefit from and/or for treatment with the autophagy inhibitor treatment. Also provided are methods involving mutational status of p53.

  • Publication number: 20130303826
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and compositions for diagnosing or predicting likelihood of a OSCC recurrence in a subject having undergone OSCC resection comprising: a) determining an expression level of one or more biomarkers selected from Table 4, 5 and/or 7, optionally MMP1, COL4A1, THBS2 and/or P4HA2 in a test sample from the subject, the one or more biomarkers comprising at least one of THBS2 and P4HA2, and b) comparing the expression level of the one or more biomarkers with a control, wherein a difference or a similarity in the expression level of the one or more biomarkers between the test sample and the control is used to diagnose or predict the likelihood of OSCC recurrence in the subject In particular, the present disclosure describes methods and compositions using a four-gene biomarker signature that can predict recurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma in subjects that have histologically normal surgical resection margins.

  • Publication number: 20120237488
    Abstract: A method for determining prognosis in a subject having a hematological cancer comprising: a) determining an expression profile by measuring the gene expression levels of a set of genes selected from a leukemic stem cell (LSC) gene signature marker set or an hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene signature marker set, in a sample from a subject; and b) classifying the subject as having a good prognosis or a poor prognosis based on the expression profile; wherein a good prognosis predicts an increased likelihood of survival within a predetermined period after initial diagnosis and poor prognosis predicts a decreased likelihood of survival within the predetermined period after initial diagnosis.

  • Publication number: 20110224313
    Abstract: The application provides methods of prognosing, diagnosing, screening and classifying lung cancer patients into poor survival groups or good survival groups. A number of altered genomic regions have been identified that distinguish subtype of lung adenocarcinoma (ADC), specifically between bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and invasive ADC with BAC features (AWBF), and genes and biomarkers whose expression are altered in individuals with pulmonary ADC according to different survival outcomes. The amplification and/or deletion of these genomic regions, and/or the biomarker expression profiles can be used to classify patients with ADC into a BAC group with excellent survival outcome, or an invasive ADC with BAC features group with higher risk of developing metastatic recurrence and poorer survival outcome. The application also includes kits for use in the methods of the application.
