A METHOD TO ASSESS PROGNOSIS AND TO PREDICT THERAPEUTIC SUCCESS IN GYNECOLOGIC CANCER

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 gynecologic cancer towards a 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 encoding for a hormone receptor selected from the group comprising estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and/or androgen receptor in said sample; c) comparing the pattern of expression level (s) determined in step b) with one or several reference pattern (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).
