Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In certain aspects, the disclosure relates to methods of predicting recurrence of colorectal cancer by using a combination of microRNAs in the circulation, wherein the microRNAs are selected from the group consisting of miR-15a, miR-103, miR-148a, miR-320a, miR-451 and miR-596. In other aspects, the disclosure relates to methods of treating colorectal cancer by administering a therapeutic agent after determining an increased risk of recurrence.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1 . A method for predicting recurrence of early stage colorectal cancer in a patient, comprising: a) providing a biological material comprising circulating microRNAs from a patient diagnosed with stage 0, stage I or stage II colorectal cancer, b) measuring in the biological material the levels of two or more microRNAs selected from: miR-15a, miR-103, miR-148a, miR-320a, miR-451 and miR-596, and c) evaluating the measured levels; wherein the measured level…
