TREATMENT OF CANCER OR OBESITY WITH CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACIDS

摘要

The present invention discloses a method of screening cancer or obesity patients to determine whether the form of cancer or obesity they have is suitable for treatment with conjugated linoleic acids as well as treating patients for cancer based on that determination. The screening identifies patients with tumor cells with a disregulation of lipid metabolism, patients who overexpress the Thyroid Hormone Responsive Spot 14 gene, and patients who overexpress the Sterol Responsive Element Binding Protein gene.
