The invention provides a method for determining a genetic predisposition to prostate cancer in a male human subject. In one aspect, the method comprises determining whether the subject has the genotype GG of refSNP rs125555, where the genotype GG of refSNP rs125555 indicates that the subject is...
These findings ultimately will aid the development of a simple blood test to predict who is susceptible to this aggressive cancer, Northwestern researchers said. Knowing which patients carry this genetic marker also will guide doctors in how they treat the cancer. The Northwestern study showed a str...

“This newly identified genetic marker will not have any immediate clinical implications or impact on current screening guidelines for familial breast cancer,” said Dr. Offit. “As such, a test for these markers is not available to the general public and these tests should be performed only as...
Evidence on height and prostate cancer risk is mixed, however, recent studies with large data sets support a possible role for its association with the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. We analysed data from the PRACTICAL consortium consisting of 6207

An association between schizophrenia and subsequent breast cancer has been suggested; however the risk of schizophrenia following a breast cancer is unknown. Moreover, the driving forces of the link are largely unclear. Here, we report the phenotypic and
Yet there is no marker that could become an alternative to cytology, despite the fact that the isolated usage of cytological methods is non-informative. Presumably the use of a palette of markers in combination with imaging techniques will enhance the diagnostic capabilities, but it is currently ...
Preoperative serum caveolin-1 as a prognostic marker for recurrence in a radical prostatectomy cohort. PURPOSE: Up-regulation of caveolin-1 (cav-1) is associated with virulent prostate cancer, and serum cav-1 levels are elevated in prostate cancer patients b... Tahir,A S. - 《Clinical Cancer...
present a grim prognosis, but new findings could greatly impact survival rates. Researchers led by Lan Guo, Ph.D. at the West Virginia University Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center have identified a gene pattern associated with lung cancer patients who are at high risk for recurrence of the ...
