  • miR-133a as a marker for colorectal cancer
    Patent number: 10900091
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for assessing the likelihood of effectiveness of chemotherapy such as oxaliplatin treatment in colorectal cancer patients as well as their survival prospect by determining the level of miR-133a in the cancer tissue. A kit useful for such methods are also provided.

  • Tumor suppressor VSTM2A as a biomarker for colorectal cancer
    Patent number: 10379124
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for diagnosing and determining prognosis of colorectal cancer in a subject by detecting suppressed expression of the VSTM2A gene, which in some cases is due to elevated methylation level in the genomic sequence of this gene. A kit and device useful for such a method are also provided. In addition, the present invention provides a method for treating colorectal cancer by increasing VSTM2A gene expression or activity.
