Marker for Prognosis and Drug Resistance of Ewing's Sarcoma

Summary: Researchers at the University of Utah are working to develop methods for early detection and improved treatment of Ewing's sarcoma. They have identified glutathione-S-transferase M4 (GSTM4) as a critical target gene in this cancer. GSTM4 contributes to tumorigenesis and drug resistance in Ewing's sarcoma. Patients with higher levels...

Biomarker for Improved Diagnosis of Ewing’s Sarcoma

Invention SummaryEwing’s sarcoma is a highly aggressive bone or soft tissue-associated tumor of children and young adults. The tumor frequently progresses undetected until it metastasizes, whereupon the mortality of the disease greatly increases. This technology reveals a new molecular marker, NKX2.2, which has high specificity and sensitivity...
