This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy in North America. Although survival rates are high when the disease is diagnosed at an early stage, this decreases significantly in late-stage diagnoses. The majority of cases are of epithelial origin, which can be classified into four major subtypes: serous, mucinous, endometrioid and clear cell carcinoma. Unfortunately, the clinically-approved markers for ovarian cancer - CA125 and HE4 alone - perform poorly for the mucinous, endometrioid and clear cell subtypes and thus, diagnosis of these subtypes remains a significant challenge. To this end, an integrated approach to ovarian cancer biomarker discovery was developed in this study through combining proteomics with other high-throughput platforms. Using proteomic analyses of ascites fluid from women with ovarian cancer and conditioned media of ovarian cancer cell lines, 15 high-priority candidates were identified as putative novel biomarkers using said integrated approach. Serum validation revealed two markers - folate receptor 1 and kallikrein 6 - to have comparable diagnostic ability to the clinically-approved markers, albeit with similar limitations in their ability to detect patients of the non-serous histotypes as well. Fortunately, the validation of the two in-house markers served as proof-of-principle of our integrated approach to biomarker discovery. As a result, the approach was employed on non-serous ovarian cancer tissues to identify novel markers specific to the mucinous, endometrioid and clear cell subtypes of ovarian cancer. Over 9000 unique proteins were identified in this exercise and with the use of an unbiased filtering algorithm based on transcriptomics and bioinformatics, a list of high-priority candidates for each subtype was generated. Several of the high-priority candidates have shown strong biological and molecular relevance to their respective subtypes, demonstrating the robustness and utility of the integrated approach. Future studies will need to investigate these candidates in independent serum cohorts to truly assess for their ability to diagnose their respective subtypes.

Book Synopsis Ovarian Cancers by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Ovarian Cancers written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of promising advances in cancer research, there are considerable and even alarming gaps in the fundamental knowledge and understanding of ovarian cancer. Researchers now know that ovarian cancer is not a single disease-several distinct subtypes exist with different origins, risk factors, genetic mutations, biological behaviors, and prognoses. However, persistent questions have impeded progress toward improving the prevention, early detection, treatment, and management of ovarian cancers. Failure to significantly improve morbidity and mortality during the past several decades is likely due to several factors, including the lack of research being performed by specific disease subtype, lack of definitive knowledge of the cell of origin and disease progression, and incomplete understanding of genetic and non-genetic risk factors. Ovarian Cancers examines the state of the science in ovarian cancer research, identifies key gaps in the evidence base and the challenges to addressing those gaps, considers opportunities for advancing ovarian cancer research, and examines avenues for translation and dissemination of new findings and communication of new information to patients and others. This study makes recommendations for public- and private-sector efforts that could facilitate progress in reducing the incidence of morbidity and mortality from ovarian cancers.
Book Synopsis Evolution of Translational Omics by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Evolution of Translational Omics written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies collectively called omics enable simultaneous measurement of an enormous number of biomolecules; for example, genomics investigates thousands of DNA sequences, and proteomics examines large numbers of proteins. Scientists are using these technologies to develop innovative tests to detect disease and to predict a patient's likelihood of responding to specific drugs. Following a recent case involving premature use of omics-based tests in cancer clinical trials at Duke University, the NCI requested that the IOM establish a committee to recommend ways to strengthen omics-based test development and evaluation. This report identifies best practices to enhance development, evaluation, and translation of omics-based tests while simultaneously reinforcing steps to ensure that these tests are appropriately assessed for scientific validity before they are used to guide patient treatment in clinical trials.

Book Synopsis Biomarkers for Endometriosis by : Thomas D'Hooghe
Download or read book Biomarkers for Endometriosis written by Thomas D'Hooghe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of the diagnostic performance of non- or semi-invasive tests for endometriosis in peripheral blood, endometrium, saliva, peritoneal fluid and urine. The value of existing and emerging systems biology technologies for biomarker development is addressed in several chapters on genetics, microarrays, proteomics and metabolomics. Although tests with high sensitivity and acceptable specificity have been developed, sometimes validated in independent populations and seem promising, more research is needed to translate these data into clinical benefit for patients and coordinate efforts internationally to standarize analysis, reports and operating procedures. The gold standard to diagnose endometriosis is currently through laparoscopic inspection with histological confirmation, a surgical procedure with rare but significant potential risks for the patients. A non-invasive test for endometriosis would be critical for the early detection of endometriosis of symptomatic women with pelvic pain and/or subfertility with normal ultrasound. This would include nearly all cases of minimal-mild endometriosis, some cases of moderate-severe endometriosis without a clearly visible ovarian endometrioma and cases with pelvic adhesions and/or other pelvic pathology, who might benefit from surgery to improve pelvic pain and/or subfertility. Such a test would also be useful in symptomatic women with ultrasound imaging suspicious for endometriosis, since it may be difficult to differentiate an ovarian endometrioma from other ovarian cysts and since the quality of ultrasound imaging is highly variable worldwide.

By dealing with the state-of-the-art in eHealth technologies, this volume is of great interest to researchers in the field of physical and mental healthcare, psychologists, stakeholders and policymakers as well as technology developers working in the healthcare sector.
Book Synopsis Cancer Biomarkers in Body Fluids by : Gabriel D. Dakubo
Download or read book Cancer Biomarkers in Body Fluids written by Gabriel D. Dakubo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to measure and monitor cancer biomarkers in “body fluid biopsy” should greatly impact oncologic practice. “Biomarkers in Proximal Fluids”, the third of the “Cancer Biomarkers in Body Fluids” series details cancer signatures in none or minimally circulating body fluids including saliva, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, exhaled breath condensate, nipple aspirate fluid, gastric and pancreatic juice, stool, urine, and prostatic, peritoneal and cerebrospinal fluid. These fluids are enriched with biomarkers, especially those emanating from cells of the proximal tissue. Chapter 1 examines the global burden of cancer and the need for regional efforts at primary prevention, early detection and patient care. Chapters 2-12 address tissue-specific biomarkers in associated body fluids. The tumor interstitial fluid as a microenvironment rich in cancer biomarkers is detailed in chapter 13, while chapter 14 looks at the human body fluid microbiome and its evolving role in cancer. Commercially available assays using proximal fluids are examined at the end of the respective chapters. This book complements its predecessors and is equally useful to oncologists, cancer researchers, clinicians, medical students, nurses, diagnostic laboratory and pharmaceutical industry personnel.
