Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a method for determining the sensitivity of a patient to irinotecan, SN-38, and/or a salt thereof, which method can determine the therapeutic response of the patient and to provide a novel cancer therapeutic means employing the method. The method for determining the sensitivity of a subject to irinotecan, SN-38, and/or a salt thereof includes measuring the expression levels of AMD1 gene, CTSC gene, EIF1AX gene, C12orf30 gene, DDX54 gene, PTPN2 gene, and TBX3 gene in a specimen, and calculating the best tumor response rate (%), overall survival (days), or progression-free survival (days) from formulas (1) to (3).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treating cancer in a human subject, comprising: (i) measuring a pre-treatment mRNA expression level of the AMD1 gene, CTSC gene, EIF1AX gene, C12orf30 gene, DDX54 gene, PTPN2 gene, and TBX3 gene in a biosample derived from a subject having colorectal cancer; (ii) calculating, using the measured pre-treatment mRNA expression level, a pre-treatment value of the best tumor response rate using formula (1) wherein: the best tumor response…
