Provided herein are biomarkers for cancer screening and monitoring. In particular, provided herein are lipid biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, risk, and response to treatment.

An electrochemical detector includes: a solution chamber and a substance selection structure separating the chamber into individual compartments, wherein the solution chamber is arranged to retain and separate solutions in each of the individual compartments; and a pair of electrodes each connecting the respective individual compartment, wherein the pair of electrodes is arranged to form a conductive path across the electrodes when in contact with the solutions retained in the solution chamber. The substance selection structure is arranged to interact with a target substance in the solution so as to alter an electrical characteristic of the conductive path defined by the pair of electrodes, the solution retained in the individual compartments in the solution chamber and the substance selection structure.

The present invention provides a method for detecting biliary tract cancer by measuring the amounts of APOA2 protein variants in a test sample with anti-APOA2 antibodies, the anti-APOA2 antibodies for use in the above method and a detection kit for biliary tract cancer including the above antibodies.

Methods and systems for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of gastroesophageal diseases including gastroesophageal reflux disease, reflux laryngitis, nonerosive reflux disease and gastric cancer using saliva based biomarkers are presented herein. The biomarkers may include E-cadherin, TGF-α, EGF, IL-6, pepsin, MOB kinase activator 1A, EphA1, MOB kinase Activator 1B, integrin alpha 5, Golgi resident protein GCP 60, FR-beta, protein SEC13 homolog, epiregulin, FGF-12, inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase catalytic subunit, vimentin, annexin A1, protein S100-A6, malate dehydrogenase, proteasome activator complex subunit 2, cathepsin D light chain, MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-13, MMP-14, mucin-1, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, antithrombin, serpin peptidase inhibitor, CTSF, HMGB1, TLR7, COPS2, NT5E, TERF1, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-4, XPNPEP2, TGFR2, SIGLEC6, CPE, GHR, GPNMB, SLAMF8, TNFRSF19, TWEAK, IFNGR1, Notch-3, TNFRSF19L, annexin A6, α-defensin-1, caveolin 1, EGF receptor, integrin beta 4, S100A6, S100A8, S100A9, and/or haptoglobin.

The invention relates to a method for diagnosing or for providing a prognosis of a subject suffering from oesophagogastric cancer, or a pre-disposition thereto. The method comprises analysing, in an endoluminal sample obtained from a test subject, the level of at least one biomarker compound selected from the group consisting of: acetone, acetic acid, butyric acid, pentanoic acid and hexanoic acid. The method further comprises comparing this level with a reference for the level of the at least one biomarker compound in an individual who does not suffer from oesophagogasatric cancer. In particular, an increase in the concentration of the at least one biomarker compound, in the endoluminal sample from the test subject, compared to the reference, suggests that the subject is suffering from oesophagogastric cancer, or has a pre-disposition thereto, or provides a negative prognosis of the subject's condition.

The present invention provides a method for detecting biliary tract cancer by measuring the amounts of APOA2 protein variants in a test sample with anti-APOA2 antibodies, the anti-APOA2 antibodies for use in the above method and a detection kit for biliary tract cancer including the above antibodies.

The present invention relates to a method for preventing or treating cancer comprising administering a Synaptotagmin 11 (SYT11) inhibitor to a subject, a method for diagnosing cancer comprising measuring an expression level of SYT11, and a method for screening a preparation for treating cancer.

Protein and mRNA expression based methods for classification of gastric cancer, and methods of treatment based thereon.

A method of processing a fecal sample from a human subject comprising combining a first portion of a collected fecal sample with a stabilizing buffer, combining a second portion of the sample with a solution that prevents denaturation or degradation of blood proteins found in a fecal sample. Embodiments comprise testing nucleic acid extracted from the first portion of the fecal sample for an amount of a human nucleic acid, and testing the second portion of the fecal sample for the presence of human blood.
