Retinoblastoma Loss in Cancer: Casting a Wider Net

Clin Cancer Res. 2019 Jul 15;25(14):4199-4201. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-19-1292. Epub 2019 May 17.

Abstract

Capturing both genomic and nongenomic mechanisms of retinoblastoma gene dysfunction has potential to improve risk stratification and patient selection for biomarker-driven therapy. A 186-gene expression signature is capable of identifying Rb loss across cancer types, providing a new framework for assessing Rb dysfunction based on transcriptome data.See related article by Chen et al., p. 4290.
