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).
