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 […]
