KAROLINSKA INSTITUTET Among patients with kidney cancer, the activity of four specific genes in the cancer cells seems to be able to predict the risk of the tumour spreading and the patient’s chances of survival. This is shown by researchers from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden in a preclinical study published in Nature Communications. “This could potentially...

Gene signature predicts whether localized prostate cancer is likely to spread
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IRVING MEDICAL CENTER NEW YORK, NY (Nov. 10, 2020)–Researchers have identified a genetic signature in localized prostate cancer that can predict whether the cancer is likely to spread, or metastasize, early in the course of the disease and whether it will respond to anti-androgen therapy, a common treatment for advanced disease. The new...

Gene signature discovery may predict response to immune therapy
(TORONTO, Canada, Nov. 8, 2018) – Scientists led by Dr. Daniel De Carvalho at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre have discovered a gene signature biomarker that may predict which patients will respond – or not – to immune therapy. The findings are published online today in Nature Communications (doi: 10.1038/s41467-018-06654-8). Dr. De Carvalho, principal investigator, says...
