4. Study first: Over-expression of Cox-2 can predict prostate cancer outcome
   11-08-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers say an over-expression of COX-2 in men with prostate cancer is associated with an increase in PSA after radiation treatment and the spread of the cancer outside of the prostate. That is the result of the first study linking COX-2 with prostate cancer radiation treatment outcomes.

7. Genetic marker linked to aggressive prostate cancer
   05-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Northwestern University researchers have discovered that a recently identified genetic marker for prostate cancer is linked to a highly aggressive form of the disease. These findings ultimately will aid the development of a simple blood test to predict who is susceptible to this aggressive cancer. Knowing which patients carry this genetic marker also will guide doctors in how they treat the cancer. The study showed a strong hereditary component to this aggressive cancer.

   09-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers have found that the breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA1, plays a significant role in nonsmall cell lung cancer. They told the European Cancer Conference in Barcelona that not only can it be used to predict outcome for patients with NSCLC, but it may also prove to be a valuable tool in choosing the best therapy for them.

10. Novel candidate biomarker for heart failure also strongly predicts risk of death
    08-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
    A potential new biomarker for heart failure may be more powerful than established measures in identifying patients at increased risk for death from several causes. In their report, an international research team describes finding that blood levels of a protein called ST2 both indicate the presence of heart failure among patient with shortness of breath and powerfully predict the risk that a patient will die during the following year.
