MICROARRAY FOR THE DETECTION OF AN ANGIOSTATIC TUMOR STAGE OF COLORECTAL CARCINOMA

摘要

A microarray for the detection of an angiostatic tumor stage/tumor area of colorectal carcinoma in a patient is provided. In some embodiments, the microarray comprises gene probes capable of specifically hybridizing to predefined nucleic acids. Also provided are inhibitors or modulators of one or more of these nucleic acids, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the disclosed inhibitors and/or modulators, ex vivo methods for diagnosis of an angiostatic tumor stage/tumor area in a patient suffering from a colorectal carcinoma, and methods to predict the response of patients with colorectal carcinoma and other diseases to therapy.
