PO-324 Detection of high-risk prostate cancer biomarkers by RNA sequencing and qPCR method
2018
Introduction New prognostic biomarkers for prostate cancer have the potential to overcome the clinical challenge of therapy decision and overtreatment. Present diagnostic and prognostic tests are still limited in specificity resulting in a large number of false positives and unnecessary biopsies. Furthermore, they do not enable a proper stratification between men with a high risk for an aggressive disease course requiring comprehensive therapy scheme after surgery and men with a low risk of disease recurrence cured after prostatectomy or eligible for active surveillance. In particular, patients with Gleason score 6 and 7 tumours (low and mid stage) are difficult to stratify for the appropri…
Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Profiling in Early Stage I Lung Adenocarcinoma Reveals Predictive Aberrant Methylation in the Promoter Region of the Long…
2020
Introduction: Surgical procedure is the treatment of choice in early stage I lung adenocarcinoma. However, a considerable number of patients experience recurrence within the first 2 years after complete resection. Suitable prognostic biomarkers that identify patients at high risk of recurrence (who may probably benefit from adjuvant treatment) are still not available. This study aimed at identifying methylation markers for early recurrence that may become important tools for the development of new treatment modalities. Methods: Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was performed on 30 stage I lung adenocarcinomas, comparing 14 patients with early metastatic recurrence with 16 patients with …
