EXPRESSION PROFILES ASSOCIATED WITH IRINOTECAN TREATMENT

摘要

The present invention includes gene and protein expression profiles indicative of whether a cancer patient is likely to respond to treatment with irinotecan. By identifying such responsiveness, a treatment provider may determine in advance those patients who would benefit from such treatment, as well as identify alternative therapies for non-responders. The present invention further provide methods of using the gene and/or protein expression profiles and assays for identifying the presence of a gene and/or protein expression profile in a patient sample.
