Degradation fragments of Tau and type IV collagen as serum biomarkers in patients with recurrent glioblastoma treated with nivolumab and bevacizumab.

June 1, 2025

Clin Transl Oncol

Abstract PURPOSE There is an unmet need for new treatment options and biomarkers for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). Here we investigated three non-invasive biomarkers: type VI collagen degraded by granzyme B (C4G) and matrix metalloproteases (C4M), respectively, and ADAM10-degraded Tau (Tau-A). METHODS Biomarker levels in pre- and on-treatment serum samples from patients with recurrent GBM […]

Blood-based extracellular matrix biomarkers as predictors of survival in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma receiving pegvorhyaluronidase alfa.

January 21, 2021

J Transl Med

Abstract BACKGROUND Extensive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is a hallmark of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDA). We investigated fragments of collagen types III (C3M, PRO-C3), VI (PRO-C6), and VIII (C8-C), and versican (VCANM) in plasma as biomarkers for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with mPDA treated with pegvorhyaluronidase alfa, a […]

Anisotropic diffusion tensor applied to temporal mammograms: an application to breast cancer risk assessment.

January 1, 2010

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc

Abstract Breast density is considered a structural property of a mammogram that can change in various ways explaining different effects of medicinal treatments. The aim of the present work is to provide a framework for obtaining more accurate and sensitive measurements of breast density changes related to specific effects like Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT) and […]

Biochemical markers for monitoring response to therapy: evidence for higher bone specificity by a novel marker compared with routine markers.

May 1, 2008

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev

Abstract The aim of the present study was to compare a novel marker for high bone turnover with two routine markers for screening in prostate cancer patients. The markers were evaluated in two studies: (a) a cross-sectional study of 170 prostate cancer patients with local disease stratified by +/-lymph node metastases (N 0, N1) compared […]
