COMPOSITION FOR PREDICTING PROGNOSIS OF BREAST CANCER, AND KIT CONTAINING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for predicting the prognosis of breast cancer, containing a medicine for measuring the expression level of a marker gene for predicting the prognosis of breast cancer, a kit containing the composition for predicting the prognosis of breast cancer, and a method for providing the information necessary for predicting prognosis including the chance of breast cancer recurrence by using the marker for predicting the prognosis of breast cancer. The prognosis prediction method for predicting breast cancer recurrence according to the present invention can accurately and rapidly predict the chance of breast cancer recurrence within two years in patients subject to surgical treatment or cancer chemotherapy by using genes expressed differently in a group of breast cancer non-recurrence and a group of breast cancer recurrence as a marker for prognosis prediction, thereby enabling selection of the therapy appropriate for patients with high risk of recurrence and greatly contributing to the increase of the survival rate of patients.
