METHOD FOR PREDICTING RESPONSE TO TAMOXIFEN

摘要

This invention relates, e.g., to a method for predicting the response of a subject having, or at risk of developing, breast cancer to Tamoxifen therapy. The method comprises measuring the amount of phosphorylation at residues S70 of Bcl-2, Y992 of EGFR, and/or Y527 of Src in a suitable sample from the subject, wherein a statistically significantly elevated level of phosphorylation at one or more of the three residues compared to a baseline value indicates that the subject is likely to be responsive to Tamoxifen therapy.
