  • Biomarkers for determining breast cancer bone metastasis
    Patent number: 9362094
    Abstract: The invention provides biomarkers and biomarker profiles that discriminate between a subject with breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone and a subject with breast cancer that has not metastasized to the bone. In particular, the biomarker and biomarker profile include polypeptides present or present at higher levels in the circulatory system of subjects having breast cancer bone metastasis compared to subjects having breast cancer without bone metastasis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2016
    Assignee: THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS
    Inventors: Larry Suva, Stephanie Byrum, Charity Washam

  • Tears as a screening medium
    Publication number: 20060160156
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) on tears of breast cancer patients. The present invention demonstrates the use of this highly sensitive and specific method to identify proteins and protein patterns in tears that show promise as a diagnostic indicator. Based on this demonstration, the present invention provides a novel, easy and non-invasive screening tool for detecting breast cancer and assessing treatment response.
