METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING OR CLASSIFYING CARCINOMAS, BASED ON THE DETECTION OF IGF-IR DOLLAR G(B) AND IRS-1

摘要

The invention relates to a method for diagnosing and/or classifying carcinomas, preferably mammary carcinomas. The detection process is preferably carried out using an anti-IGF-IR beta and/or anti-IRS-1 antibody. A reduced IRS-1 and/or IGF-IR beta expression is a diagnostic indication of a slightly differentiated carcinoma (stage 3), while a high IRS-1 and/or IGF-IR beta expression is a diagnostic indication of a well or moderately differentiated carcinoma (stages 1 and 2).
