ANG-2
- Summary
- Angiopoietin-2 predicts the efficacy of angiogenesis inhibitors in colorectal cancer therapy.
- Technology Benefits
- Ang-2 level as predictive biomarker for angiognese-targeted therapeutical approaches of CRC.
Low pretherapeutic serum Ang-2 levels are associated with: reduced risk of death, increased progression-free survival.
- Technology Application
- Cancer Therapy- Strong diagnostic potential of the predictive biomarker has been demonstrated in pretherapeutic blood samples from colorectal cancer patients vs. healthy controls
- Detailed Technology Description
- A novel predictive biomarker to help identify the patient population with the most favorable clinical outcome to angiogenesis-targeted treatment in mCRC patients.Experiments revealed that patients with low pretherapeutic Ang-2 serum levels receiving a bevacizumab-containing treatment were associated with a better response rate compared to patients with high pretherapeutic Ang-2 levels
