The current disclosure provides, inter alia, method of determining benign nodules from thyroid cancer in a subject that is found to have a thyroid nodule, method of treating thyroid cancer in a subject detected to have thyroid cancer by the method of the current disclosure, compositions for determining benign nodules from thyroid cancer in a subject, and kits including reagents and composition for determining benign nodules from thyroid cancer in a subject.

Methods, treatment, and compositions for characterizing thyroid nodule

The present subject matter provides, inter alia, a method of diagnosing invasive ductal cancer or detecting invasive ductal cancer risk in a subject who has ductal carcinoma in situ, a method of treating breast cancer in a subject detected to have invasive ductal cancer or determined to be at risk of invasive ductal cancer, compositions for detecting invasive presence or potential in ductal carcinoma in situ in a subject, and kits including reagents and composition for detecting invasive presence or potential in ductal carcinoma in situ in a subject.

DNA methylation diagnostic test for breast cancer

Provided are methods of treating breast cancer in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an inhibitor of miR-105 or an inhibitor of miR-122 are provided. Also provided herein are methods of determining a level of miR-105 or a level of miR-122 in a subject that has or is at risk for developing breast cancer. The method includes obtaining a biological sample from the subject and determining a level of miR-105 or a level of miR-122 or a combination thereof in the biological sample, wherein a higher level of miR-105 or miR-122 as compared to a control indicates that the subject has or is at risk of developing breast cancer.

Methods and compositions for treatment of breast cancer

An miRNA expression signature comprising a set of one or more miRNAs associated with metastatic cancer is provided. In one embodiment, the expression signature is selected from the group consisting of miR-10b, miR-139-5p, miR-130b and miR-199b-5p. In some aspects, miR-199b-5p and miR-130b are overexpressed in metastatic cancer; and miR-10b and miR-139-5p are downregulated in metastatic cancer. Such an expression signature may be used in methods for predicting metastasis, risk for developing metastasis or a prognosis in a cancer. In another embodiment, a method for establishing such a cancer miRNA expression signature is provided.

4-miRNA signature for predicting clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasis and prognosis

The present invention relates to the identification of novel DNA biomarkers and the use of the aberrant methylation patterns of the biomarkers to diagnose a disease or a condition (e.g., a cancer) associated therewith. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of the novel DNA biomarkers to diagnose lung cancers, e.g., squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas.
