摘要

The present invention provides methods for identifying patients whose cancers are likely to be responsive to IGF1R inhibitory anti-cancer therapy along with methods for treating such patients. Patients identified by a method of the present invention can be treated with any of several known IGF1R inhibitory agents including antibodies, small molecule inhibitors and anti-sense nucleic acids.
