Gene expresssion profiles of cancer of the appendix
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Appendiceal cancer patients treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) often demonstrate an unpredictable variability in survival outcomes. Biomarkers predictive of CRS/HIPEC efficacy could better guide treatment decisions. In this study we hypothesized that variation in the transcriptional programming of appendiceal tumors might distinguish molecular subtypes with differential outcomes after CRS/HIPEC. The goal of this study was to investigate the potential of a prognostic gene signature to discriminate patients with favorable and unfavorable outcomes in a “discovery” set of patient (the original tumor series (n=24)), and confirm its prognostic value in a second “validation” series (the validation cohort (n=39)).
