Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of Microvessel Density by Quantitative Real-time PCR in Esophageal Cancer: Correlation with Histologic Methods, Angiogenic Growth Factor Expression, and Lymph Node Metastasis

TL;DR: These results indicate that quantification of MVD by qPCR in surgical samples of esophageal carcinoma yields similar results with immunohistology and lymph node metastases could be predicted by MVD and VEGF-C expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of CXCR4 Chemokine Receptor in Metastastic HER2-Positive Esophageal Cancer

TL;DR: The correlation of CXCR4- and HER2-expression and the elevation of Her2- expression and reduction of metastases through CX CR4-inhibition suggest a possible functional linkage and a role in tumor dissemination in HER2 -positive esophageal carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of genetic alterations detected in circulating microsatellite DNA in blood plasma samples of patients with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PCa patients had higher DNA concentrations in their blood circulation than BPH patients, and microsatellite analysis using plasma DNA may be an interesting tool for molecular screening of PCA patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic analysis of body fluids and tumor tissues: application of a comprehensive molecular assessment for early-stage breast cancer patients.

TL;DR: Methylation patterns in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis corresponded with that of the primary tumor, confirming epigenetic clonality is associated with early tumor dissemination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frequency of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) in Patients with Brain Metastases: Implications as a Risk Assessment Marker in Oligo-Metastatic Disease.

TL;DR: It is indicated that although patients with brain metastases more seldom harbor CTCs, they are still predictive for overall survival, and C TCs might be a useful biomarker to identify oligo-metastatic NSCLC patients who might benefit from a more intense therapy.
