摘要 |
The present invention provides for a method for identifying patients that are suitably treated by a therapy, such as a therapy involving administration of a fluoropyrimidine drug and/or a platinum drug. The method includes determining the expression level of at least one gene selected from a phospholipase 2 (PLA2) gene, a thymidine phosphorylase (TP) gene, and a glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP-1) gene in suitable sample isolated from the patient. Overexpression of the gene or genes identifies the patient as not being suitable for the therapy.
