- W2077201113 abstract "About one in three people in modern industrialised countries die of the consequences of malignant tumours or are found to carry an unsuspected one at the time of autopsy. Early resection of such lesions and appropriate adjuvant therapy is very effective in curing the disease. There is therefore a strong clinical incentive to find effective methods of early diagnosis, assessment of prognosis and treatment of neoplastic lesions and research on this topic is directed at a numerically significant medical problem. Recently it has been found that many human tumours show severe abnormalities in the expression of the CD44 gene which increase with progression to metastatic malignancy. By alternative splicing mechanisms this gene codes for a family of heavily glycosylated cell surface proteins involved in many important cellular activities. In neoplasia there is gross overexpression of various products of the gene associated with disorderly splicing, which can be detected in clinical samples with the sensitive technique of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). These disturbances begin early in the neoplastic process and can be detected in very small biopsy samples. It has also been shown that it is possible to achieve non-invasive diagnosis of malignancy by analysis of CD44 expression in exfoliated cells in body fluids and waste products. The potential significance of these observations for early diagnosis of symptomatic cancer and for screening of the population for asymptomatic lesions are readily seen and await further investigation. Separate work in our laboratory has succeeded in DNA-mediated transfer of metastatic capability through two rounds of transfection into non-metastatic tumour cells and a metastasis-associated human DNA fragment has been recovered from the transfectants and sequenced. Using primers designed to anneal to a coding region identified by computer analysis within the novel sequence, it has been shown with RT-PCR that it is heavily expressed in metastatic cancer tissues, but not in corresponding normal ones. This could be of value in assessing the prognosis of patients using small biopsy samples from their primary tumours and the potential of this sequence for such purposes and for possible therapeutic intervention is currently being explored. Recent work in several laboratories has shown that elevated expression of certain other specific growth factor genes, including c-met and EGFR, correlates with metastatic capability. Combined evaluation of such markers in further studies will in time give useful information on the prognosis of individual patients to guide therapeutic decisions and the implications of these recent advances for clinical practice and future research are discussed below." @default.
