Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Techniques described herein generally relate to identifying, assessing, and managing cancer growth rates and potential metastasis. Some example methods may include constructing one or more quantitative metrics for the potential metastasis in a selected population of other patients, acquiring a first set of numeric biomarker data for the patient before having placed a biomarker in the patient, acquiring a second set of numeric biomarker data for the patient after having placed the biomarker in the patient, determining a set of biomarker surrogate values for microvessel density information based on a mean numeric biomarker difference derived from the first set of numeric biomarker data and the second set of numeric biomarker data, determining a set of biomarker surrogate values for microvessel density information based on a mean numeric biomarker difference derived from the first set of numeric biomarker data and the second set of numeric biomarker data, and predicting quantitative and objective risk for the cancer growth rates and potential metastasis and adjusting a treatment plan based on the biomarker surrogate values and at least one of the one or more quantitative metrics.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of identifying, assessing, and/or treating cancer growth for a patient, comprising: constructing one or more improved quantitative metrics for metastasis in a selected population of other patients by developing a graphical representation based on a histogram that characterizes a relationship between occurrences of the metastasis and microvessel density information measured for the selected population of other patients, wherein the developed graphical represen…
