Oxford Classic – a novel prognostic signature to guide treatment decisions in ovarian cancer

Image from Licence Details: Oxford Classic – a novel prognostic signature to guide treatment decisions in ovarian cancer

Applications: Pre-treatment risk stratification; Precision medicine; ovarian cancer stratification

The Oxford Classic is a thoroughly validated prognostic tool that identifies ‘EMT-high’ tumours that have a particularly poor prognosis associated with an aggressive disease in High Grade Serous Ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Pre-treatment risk stratification of patients using the Oxford Classic can suggest [i] the most suitable surgical strategy for patients, and [ii] the most suitable EMT-targeting therapies for patients.

 

Features Benefits
  • A molecular signature that can robustly identify HGSOC patients with poor prognosis (70% of patients) as validated in 14 independent cohorts of patients.
  • Oxford Classic-based risk stratification of patients can guide treatment decisions including surgical strategy and targeted therapies, which can significantly improve survival rates in HGSOC.
  • Oxford Classic captures tumour heterogeneity by identifying five phenotypic cell types, ie; EMT cells, Cell cycle, Differentiated, KRT17 and Ciliated cells.
  • Provides a comprehensive molecular profile of the tumour, improving prognostic accuracy and enabling more nuanced patient stratification.
  • Potential for use in stratifying patients for promising cancer therapies.
  • Patients can avoid painful, unnecessary surgeries once prognosis is detected by Oxford Classic
  • Identifies patients eligible for early inclusion in clinical trials targeting EMT.
