Regarding current literature, it might be that BMI is not only a prognostic but also a predictive parameter in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
In addition to the pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the proliferation marker Ki-67 is not only a prognostic but also a predictive value.
Connectivity networks, which reflect multiple interactions between genes and proteins, possess not only a descriptive but also a predictive value, as new connections can be extrapolated and tested by means of computational analysis.
In this trial, high level of ERCC1 protein has been shown to be not only a positive prognostic factor in resected patients who did not receive adjuvant therapy, but also a negative predictive factor in patients treated with platinum chemotherapy.
In conclusion, we showed that the copy number of ACTN4 is not only a prognostic biomarker, but also a candidate predictive biomarker for the decision regarding effective treatment strategy.
The data presented indicate that FasL Fas ratio may be useful not only as a prognostic factor but also as a predictive factor for projecting response to the antioestrogen tamoxifen.
The new data presented here indicate that the FasL Fas ratio may be useful not only as a prognostic factor but also as a predictive factor for projecting response to the antioestrogen tamoxifen.
We believe that the immunohistochemical evaluation for luminal membrane expression of mesothelin in gastric cancer would be of clinical benefit not only as a prognostic factor but also as a predictive factor for the eligibility to mesothelin-targeting therapies in the future (Hassan et al, 2004, 2007a, 2007b, c, 2010; Hassan and Ho, 2008; Li et al, 2008; Inami et al, 2009).
Molecular analysis represents, in these types of diseases, an essential tool to confirm the symptomatic manifestations, but it is also a predictive test.
In the future, it would be helpful in clinical trials to determine whether VEGF-A could serve not only as a prognostic marker in head and neck carcinomas, but also as a predictive tool for the most efficient response to treatment.
The NeuCube framework can be used not only to discover functional pathways from data, but also as a predictive system of brain activities, to predict and possibly, prevent certain events.
