20110142828 | TREATMENT PREDICTION INVOLVING HMGCR - The present invention provides a method for determining whether a mammalian subject having a breast cancer is likely to benefit from an endocrine treatment, comprising the steps of: providing a sample earlier obtained from said subject; evaluating the amount of HMGCR protein or HMGCR mRNA present in at least part of said sample, and determining a sample value corresponding to said amount; comparing the sample value obtained in step b) with a reference value; and, if said sample value is higher than said reference value, concluding that the subject is likely to benefit from an endocrine treatment. Further, a corresponding method of treatment is provided as well as further methods uses and means which may be employed in connection with breast cancer treatment or treatment prediction. | 06-16-2011 |
20110144198 | BREAST CANCER PROGNOSTICS - The present invention provides new methods, uses and means for breast cancer prognostics. The provided method for establishing a prognosis for a mammalian subject having a breast cancer, comprises the steps of: obtaining a hormone receptor status of the subject; obtaining an HMGCR protein value of the subject; and correlating the hormone receptor status and the HMGCR protein of the subject to a prognosis for the subject. | 06-16-2011 |
20110269797 | ANLN PROTEIN AS AN ENDOCRINE TREATMENT PREDICTIVE FACTOR - The present invention provides methods, uses and means for breast cancer prognostics and treatment prediction. Provided methods comprises the steps of: providing a sample earlier obtained from a breast cancer subject; evaluating the amount of ANLN protein present in at least part of said sample, and determining a sample value corresponding to said amount; comparing the sample value with a reference value; and, if said sample value is higher than said reference value, concluding that the subject is not likely to benefit from an endocrine treatment or that a prognosis for said subject is worse than a reference prognosis associated with the reference value. | 11-03-2011 |
20120034218 | RBM3 in Colorectal Cancer Prognostics - The present invention provides means, such as a method, for determining whether a mammalian subject having a colorectal cancer belongs to a first or a second group, wherein the prognosis of subjects of the first group is better than the prognosis of subjects of the second group. The method comprises the steps of: evaluating an amount of RBM3 protein or RBM3 mRNA molecule in at least part of a sample earlier obtained from the subject and determining a sample value corresponding to the evaluated amount; comparing said sample value with a predetermined reference value; and | 02-09-2012 |
20120034317 | Prediction of Response to Platinum-Based Therapy - Method for determining whether a mammalian subject having a cancer belongs to a first or a second group, wherein subjects of the first group are more likely to respond to a platinum-based therapy than subjects of the second group, comprising the steps of: evaluating the amount of RBM3 protein or RBM3 mRNA present in at least part of a sample earlier obtained from said subject, and determining a sample value corresponding to said amount; comparing the sample value with a reference value; and, if said sample value is higher than said reference value, concluding that said subject belongs to a first group; and if said sample value is lower than or equal to said reference value, concluding that said subject belongs to a second group. There is further provided means useful in the establishment of a treatment prediction. | 02-09-2012 |
20120040338 | RBM3 in Testicular Cancer Diagnostics and Prognostics - The present disclosure provides a method for determining whether a mammalian subject belongs to a first or a second group, wherein subjects of the first group have a higher risk of having a testicular disorder than subjects of the second group, comprising the steps of: evaluating an amount of RBM3 protein or RBM3 mRNA in at least part of an earlier obtained sample comprising biological material from a testicle of said subject and determining a sample value corresponding to the evaluated amount; comparing said sample value with a predetermined reference value; and if said sample value is higher than said reference value, concluding that the subject belongs to the first group; and if said sample value is lower than or equal to said reference value, concluding that the subject belongs to the second group. Further, a prognostic method for testicular cancer is provided, as well as means and uses with prognostic and diagnostic applications. | 02-16-2012 |
20120058202 | Means and Method for Ovarian Cancer Prognosis - There is provided a method for determining whether a mammalian subject having an ovarian cancer belongs to a first or a second group, wherein the prognosis of subjects of the first group is better than the prognosis of subjects of the second group, comprising the steps of: a) evaluating an amount of RBM3 protein in at least part of a sample earlier obtained from the subject and determining a sample value corresponding to the evaluated amount; b) comparing said sample value with a predetermined refer-ence value; and if said sample value is higher than said ref-erence value, c1) concluding that the subject belongs to the first group; and if said sample value is lower than or equal to said reference value, c2) concluding that the sub-ject belongs to the second group. Related peptides, affinity ligands, uses and further methods are also provided. | 03-08-2012 |
20120219548 | PODXL Protein in Colorectal Cancer - The present disclosure provides a method for determining whether a mammalian subject having a colorectal cancer belongs to a first or a second group, wherein the prognosis of subjects of the first group is better than the prognosis of subjects of the second group, comprising the steps of: a) evaluating an amount of PODXL protein in at least part of a sample earlier obtained from the subject, and determining a sample value corresponding to the evaluated amount; b) comparing said sample value from step a) with a predetermined reference value; and if said sample value is higher than said reference value, c1) concluding that the subject belongs to said second group; and if said sample value is lower than or equal to said reference value, c2) concluding that the subject belongs to said first group. Related uses, means and a method of treatment are also provided. | 08-30-2012 |
