About
Progastrin is a pro-hormone that, in physiological conditions, is maturated in gastrin in G cells of the stomach. The role of the gastrin is to stimulate the secretion of gastric acids during digestion. It is also important for the regulation of cell growth of the gastric mucosal.
In a healthy person, progastrin is not detectable in the peripheral blood. However, progastrin is abnormally released in the blood of patients with different cancers (colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast, cervix uterus, melanoma...) The gene GAST coding for progastrin is a direct target gene of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway. The activation of this oncogenic pathway is an early event in cancer development.
Chronic activation of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway occurs in almost all human solid tumors and is a central mechanism in cancer biology that induces cellular proliferation, blocking of differentiation leading to primary tumor growth and metastasis formation.
Progastrin measured in the peripheral blood of patients on treatments, could be a new powerful marker for diagnosis and prognosis at different stages.

Specific inclusion criteria for curative treatment strategy cancer patients:
- Indication of a treatment strategy with curative intent (surgery; radiotherapy; chemotherapy; hormonotherapy; targeted agents...)
- Patient naïve of anticancer treatments for the considered cancer
- A prior anti-cancer treatment is allowed if this treatment was performed with curative intent, and if it did not include systemic chemotherapy, and if a complete remission ≥ 6 months was observed in between the end of treatment and relapse. Previous local treatments for superficial lesions are allowed without any time restriction (for example among others, intravesical treatment for superficial bladder cancer lesions).
Specific inclusion criteria for non-curative treatment strategy cancer patients:
- Indication of a treatment strategy with no curative intent (radiotherapy; chemotherapy; hormonotherapy; immunotherapy; targeted agents, non-curative surgery, ...)
- Patient naïve of anticancer treatments in non-curative setting (except for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, see specific inclusion criteria).
The following tumor type specific inclusion criteria must be met in addition to the inclusion criteria listed above:
