متن کاملValidation of genomics-based prognostic tests in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
PURPOSE Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly lethal neoplasm with limited pretreatment prognostication strategies. In this report, we examine the accuracy of a previously proposed prognostic test in an independent cohort of MPM patients. This test uses simple ratios of gene expression levels to provide a novel prognostication scheme. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Gene expression data using ...
