<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide genes and gene sets having the expression levels which are useful for predicting outcome of colorectal cancer. <P>SOLUTION: A method of predicting clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer comprises determining evidence of the expression of one or more predictive RNA transcripts or their expression products in a biological sample of cancer cells obtained from the subject. In one embodiment, the method for predicting the clinical outcome in a subject diagnosed with colorectal cancer following surgical resection of the cancer comprises determining the expression level of one or more predictive RNA transcripts listed in Tables 1A-B, 2A-B, 3A-B, 4A-B, 5A-B, 6 and/or 7, or their expression products, in a biological sample comprising cancer cells obtained from the subject. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
