These genes include angiogenic factors and T-cell markers, the combination of which is predictive of recurrence. Market Applications: They may serve as a clinical test for risk of recurrence and outcome in breast cancer patients. less | Primary: McGill University

used the same subject as his/her own control to identify elevated proteins in
the pulmonary venous effluent draining the tumor vascular bed compared to
matched systemic arterial blood, we have identified Connective Tissue-Activating Peptide III (CTAP III) as a novel blood-based biomarker to detect pre-clinical lung cancer up
to 29 months before clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, CTAP III
was found to decrease in patients who are cured by surgery but remains elevated
in those who later developed recurrent disease. less | Primary: BC Cancer Agency

Intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy using BCG are used as adjuvant treatments to prevent recurrence of the cancer. However these treatments are effective in less than 40% of the patients and they are associated with important side effects. Contrary to theses drugs, MAGE-A9 vaccine would be highly specific to tumor cells and might be less toxic and more effective. In addition to superficial cancer, a MAGE-A9 vaccine could also be used to treat metastatic bladder cancer for which there is currently no effective treatment. less | Primary: Université Laval
