摘要 |
The present invention is related to a method for predicting a clinical response of a patient suffering from or at risk of developing a neoplastic disease towards at least one given mode of treatment, said method comprising the steps of : a) obtaining a biological sample from said patient; b) determining, on a non protein basis, the expression level of at least one gene of interest, said gene being correlated with the Estrogen receptor (ESR) status in the said sample, c) comparing the pattern of expression levels deter mined in (b) with one or several reference pat tern(s) of expression levels; and d) predicting therapeutic success for said given mode of treatment in said patient from the outcome of the comparison in step (c). Moreover, the invention concerns nucleic acid molecules usefuls as primers and probes for detecting the expression of Her2-neu/ErbB2, MLHP and MMP7, respectively. |
