GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING FOR PREDICTING THE SURVIVABILITY OF PROSTATE CANCER SUBJECTS

摘要

A method is provided in various embodiments for determining a profile data set for predicting the survivability of a subject with prostate cancer based on a sample from the subject, wherein the sample provides a source of RNAs. The method includes using amplification under measurement conditions that are substantially repeatable for measuring the amount of RNA corresponding to at least 1 constituent from Table 1. Alternatively, the method uses electrophoresis or immunohistochemistry for measuring the mount of protein corresponding to at least 1 constituent from Table 20. The profile data set comprises the measure of each constituent.
