  • Publication number: 20160115551
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for classifying and for evaluating the prognosis of a subject having breast cancer are provided. The methods include prediction of breast cancer subtype using a supervised algorithm trained to stratify subjects on the basis of breast cancer intrinsic subtype. The prediction model is based on the gene expression profile of the intrinsic genes listed in Table 1. This prediction model can be used to accurately predict the intrinsic subtype of a subject diagnosed with or suspected of having breast cancer.

  • Publication number: 20140206545
    Abstract: The present invention relates to gene sets useful in assessing prognosis and/or predicting the response of cancer, e.g. colorectal cancer to chemotherapy. In addition, the invention relates to a clinically validated cancer test, e.g. colorectal test, for assessment of prognosis and/or prediction of patient response to chemotherapy, using expression analysis. The present invention accommodates the use of archived paraffin embedded biopsy material for assay of all markers in the relevant gene sets and therefore is compatible with the most widely available type of biopsy material.

  • Patent number: 8765383
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for assessing a patient's cancer risk and/or recurrence risk, which methods comprise assaying, in a biological sample obtained from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of the patient, an expression level of a risk gene. The present disclosure also provides methods involving a cancer risk/recurrence risk sequence, i.e. the V600E mutation of the BRAF gene, which is useful for assessing cancer risk and/or recurrence risk in a patient.

  • Publication number: 20140037620
    Abstract: The application describes methods for predicting overall survival in subjects with breast cancer. The application also describes for screening subjects with breast cancer to determine if the breast cancer will be responsive to a breast cancer therapy including gemcitabine. The application further describes methods for treating subjects with breast cancer by screening them for the likelihood of the effectiveness of treating the cancer with a therapy including gemcitabine and administering the therapy in subjects when it is found that gemcitabine is likely to be effective.
