Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are an marker for determining sensitivity to an anticancer agent capable of distinguishing a therapeutic response of an individual patient and a novel means for a cancer therapy using the marker. The marker for determining sensitivity to an anticancer agent contains a calcium-binding protein S100A7, S100A8, or S100A10.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating colorectal cancer, comprising: (1) measuring a concentration of at least one calcium-binding protein selected from the group consisting of S100A7, S100A8, and S100A10 in a biological specimen from a subject with colorectal cancer; and (2) administering at least one anticancer agent selected from the group consisting of oxaliplatin, cisplatin, irinotecan, SN-38, and a salt thereof to the subject when the concentration of the calcium-binding protein is lower than a predetermined standard concentration for the anticancer agent, or when the concentration of the calcium binding protein does not reach a predetermined standard concentration which is set for the anticancer agent during the administration of the anticancer agent, excluding the combination of S100A10 and cisplatin. 2. The method of claim 1 , which comprises (2) administering at least one anticancer agent selected from the group consisting of oxaliplatin, cisplatin, irinotecan, SN-38, and a salt thereof to the subject when the concentration of the calcium-binding protein is lower than a predetermined standard concentration for the anticancer agent. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calcium-binding protein is S100A7. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calcium-binding protein is S100A8. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calcium-binding protein is S100A10. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anticancer agent is oxaliplatin or a salt thereof. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anticancer agent is cisplatin or a salt thereof. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anticancer agent is irinotecan or a salt thereof. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the anticancer agent is SN-38 or a salt thereof. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has received the anticancer agent. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biological specimen is blood, plasma, a biopsy specimen of a cancer tissue, a preparation obtained by cancer extirpation, stool, urine, ascitic fluid, pleural fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, or expectoration. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biological specimen is serum. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the calcium-binding protein is measured by mass spectrometry. 14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the calcium-binding protein is measured with an antibody to the marker. 15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the calcium-binding protein is measured by radioimmunoassay, an enzyme immunoassay, a fluorescent immunoassay, a luminescence immunoassay, immunoprecipitation, immunonephelometry, immunostaining, or immunodiffusion. 16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the calcium-binding protein is measured by western blotting. 17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the calcium-binding protein is measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
