• Bioinformatics approach to mRNA markers discovery for detection of circulating tumor cells in patients with gastrointestinal cancer 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Reboredo, Margarita; Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Iglesias-Díaz, Pilar; Lorenzo-Patiño, María J.; García Campelo, Rosario; Haz, Mar; Santamarina, Isabel; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Elsevier, 2008)
      [Abstract] Background: Detection of tumor cells in the blood, or minimal deposits in distant organs as bone marrow, could be important to identify cancer patients at high risk of relapse or disease progression. Quantitative ...
    • Circulating miR-200c as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Reboredo, Margarita; Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Iglesias-Díaz, Pilar; Lorenzo-Patiño, María J.; Haz, Mar; Santamarina, Isabel; Blanco, Moisés; Fernández-Tajes, Juan; Quindós-Varela, María; Carral, Alberto; Figueroa, Angélica; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Calvo, Lourdes (BioMed Central, 2012-09-06)
      [Abstract] Background. MicroRNAs are aberrantly expressed and correlate with tumourigenesis and the progression of solid tumours. The miR-200 family determines the epithelial phenotype of cancer cells and regulates ...
    • Diagnostic accuracy of small breast epithelial mucin mRNA as a marker for bone marrow micrometastasis in breast cancer: a pilot study 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Iglesias-Díaz, Pilar; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Ayude, Daniel; Medina Villaamil, Vanessa; Haz, Mar; Reboredo, Margarita; Antolín, Silvia; Calvo, Lourdes; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (Springer-Verlag, 2009-02-17)
      [Abstract] Background. Detection of isolated tumour cells (ITC) in the blood or minimal deposits in distant organs such as bone marrow (BM) could be important to identify breast cancer patients at high risk of relapse or ...
    • Evaluation of Plakophilin-3 mRNA as a biomarker for detection of circulating tumor cells in gastrointestinal cancer patients 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Reboredo, Margarita; Medina, Vanessa; Lorenzo-Patiño, María J.; Iglesias-Díaz, Pilar; Haz, Mar; Pértega-Díaz, Sonia; Santamarina, Isabel; Blanco, Moisés; Quindós-Varela, María; Figueroa, Angélica; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (American Association for Cancer Research, 2010-05-25)
      [Abstract] Background: This study aims to assess Plakophilin-3 (PKP3) as a surrogate biomarker of circulating tumor cells in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods: The primary aim is to estimate the diagnostic ...
    • Evaluation of the adenocarcinoma-associated gene AGR2 and the intestinal stem cell marker LGR5 as biomarkers in colorectal cancer 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Blanco, Moisés; Reboredo, Margarita; Lorenzo-Patiño, María J.; Iglesias-Díaz, Pilar; Haz, Mar; Díaz-Prado, Silvia; Medina, Vanessa; Santamarina, Isabel; Pértega-Díaz, Sonia; Figueroa, Angélica; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M. (MDPI, 2012-04-05)
      [Abstract] We aim to estimate the diagnostic performances of anterior gradient homolog-2 (AGR2) and Leucine-rich repeat-containing-G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) in peripheral blood (PB) as mRNA biomarkers in colorectal ...
    • Prognostic impact of disseminated tumor cells and microRNA-17-92 cluster deregulation in gastrointestinal cancer 

      Valladares-Ayerbes, Manuel; Blanco, Moisés; Haz, Mar; Medina, Vanessa; Iglesias-Díaz, Pilar; Lorenzo-Patiño, María J.; Reboredo, Margarita; Santamarina, Isabel; Figueroa, Angélica; Antón-Aparicio, Luis M.; Calvo, Lourdes (Spandidos, 2011-07-04)
      [Abstract] The presence of tumor cells in the bone marrow (BM) could be relevant to identifying high risk of disease progression and death in gastrointestinal cancer. However, the molecular profile associated with disseminated ...
