Title:
METHOD FOR JUDGING ONSET RISK OF HEPATOCARCINOMA
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014027898
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a method for judging recurrence risk of hepatocarcinoma using biomarkers that can accurately judge the recurrence risk of hepatocarcinoma, and to provide a kit for judging the recurrence risk of hepatocarcinoma.

By using 7 genes (CYP2A6, SLC10A1, SLC22A1, ESR1, GLYAT, TSPAN8 and NQO1) as the biomarkers, the recurrence risk of hepatocarcinoma can be judged (predicted) accurately. When 3 biomarker genes (SLC22A1, TSPAN8 and NQO1) selected from 7 biomarker genes are used with further COL15A1 and ABCB6 genes as the biomarkers to carry out discriminant analysis, 88% (sensitivity) of the patients that suffer from recurrence 2 years after the operation are judged as "hepatocarcinoma will recur within 2 years after the surgery", and 100% (specificity) of the patients having no hepatocarcinoma recurrence over 2 years after the operation are judged as "hepatocarcinoma will not recur over 2 years after the operation". Thus the recurrence risk of hepatocarcinoma can be judged with high accuracy.
