COMPOSITION AND KIT FOR DIAGNOSING CANCER AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING CANCER USING SAME
Provided are a composition and a kit for diagnosing bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and renal cancer, and a method for diagnosing cancer or a method for detecting a biomarker for diagnosing cancer, using the same. The present invention may be used as a composition or a kit for point-of-care testing-type diagnosis, and may diagnose bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and renal cancer with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.
Biomarker for prognosis of thyroid cancer
The present disclosure provides a method of prognosis of thyroid cancer including obtaining an exosome from a subject who had received a therapy of thyroid cancer such as thyroidectomy, and detecting whether thyroglobulin is present in the exosome. Moreover, the present disclosure provides the use of urinary exosomal thyroglobulin in being a non-invasive, reproducible, convenient, serial, and accurate follow-up marker for patient with thyroid cancer.
METHODS FOR EARLY DETECTION OF CANCER
Disclosed herein are methods, compositions, and devices for use in the early detection of cancer. The methods include preparing cell-free nucleic acid molecules from a subject for sequencing, sequencing a panel of regions in the cell-free nucleic acid molecules, and detecting one or more markers that are indicative of a cancer.

Treatment of peripheral T cell lymphoma
The present disclosure relates to methods for the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma using compounds that specifically bind NKp46. Included in particular are compounds that bind NKp46 and deplete tumor cells that express NKp46 at their surface, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same. The disclosure also relates to the use of antibodies that specifically bind NKp46 in diagnostic and theranostic assays in the detection and treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
Method for assaying the activity of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase
A method for assaying activity of the enzyme spermidine/spermine N.sup.1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) uses SSAT substrates by detecting their acetylated forms. SSAT substrates may include rimantadine and tocainide wherein their metabolism occurs in part by the action of the inducible enzyme SSAT to produce the acetylated metabolites N-acetylrimantadine and N-acetyltocainide respectively. SSAT activity may be correlated to pathologic conditions.
Antibodies that specifically bind to TIM3
Provided herein are antibodies specific for TIM3 that can be used to detect cancer cells, in particular, cancer stem cells. The antibodies can also be used in therapeutic compositions for treating cancer and reducing inflammation.
COMBINATION THERAPIES OF CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS AND PD-1 INHIBITORS
Provided are compositions and methods for treating diseases, e.g., cancers, e.g., diseases associated with expression of an antigen, e.g., CD 19, comprising administering a cell that expresses a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to the antigen, e.g., CD19, in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor.
BIOMARKERS FOR NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMAS AND USES THEREOF
The disclosure provides a method of identifying a subject as having B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) such as testing a sample from a subject for a mutation in one or more biomarkers. Also described are methods for classifying or monitoring a subject having, or suspected of having, B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma comprising testing the sample for a mutation in one or more biomarkers.
Marker for Cancer Prognosis and Methods Related Thereto
The present invention is related to the novel discovery that HIF-2, but not HIF-1, selectively regulates adenosine A.sub.2A receptor in endothelial cells, thereby revealing a unique and hitherto unknown pathway by which HIF-2 can regulate angiogenesis independent of HIF-1. This discovery allows for design of new diagnostic tools and novel therapies targeted against angiogenesis-associated diseases, such as cancer. In another aspect, the present invention shows that A.sub.2A receptor expression is a marker of the developing lung, and can be used as a marker of lung diseases, such as pulmonary hypertension.
