MEASUREMENT METHOD FOR DOCETAXEL RESISTANCE OR SENSITIVITY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method that predict or monitor a patient's response to a molecule of the taxoid family by measuring the increase or decrease of specific genetic markers as compared to a control.

SOLUTION: The method for predicting or monitoring a cancer patient's response to a molecule of the taxoid family, measures nucleic acid or protein levels of particular genetic markers, wherein a decrease in the level of the genetic markers measured in a test sample indicates an increased sensitivity to a molecule of the taxoid family as compared to a target sample. A kit predicts or monitors patient's response to a molecule of the taxoid family by measuring nucleic acid or protein levels of particular genetic markers and comparing their levels to controls or reference markers.
