AKT PHOSPHORYLATION AT SER473 AS AN INDICATOR FOR TAXANE-BASED CHEMOTHERAPY

摘要

Methods for determining whether a cancer patient is likely to benefit from treatment with a taxane compound based on Akt-Ser473 phosphorylation status are provided, together with kits for determining Akt-Ser473 phosphorylation status and methods for improving treatment of a cancer patient that include obtaining a determination of the Akt-Ser473 phosphorylation status of the cancer.
