Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A marker can determine whether or not a patient has a therapeutic response to an anti-cancer agent. A novel cancer therapy employs the marker. The marker can be N-acetylglucosamine, an amino-acid-metabolism-related substance, a nucleic-acid-metabolism-related substance, a substance in the pentose phosphate pathway, a substance in the glycolytic pathway, a substance in the TCA cycle, a polyamine-metabolism-related substance, lauric acid, 6-phosphogluconic acid, butyric acid, 4-methylpyrazole, isobutylamine, glycolic acid, NADH, NAD + , or a substance involved in the metabolism of any of these substances.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for determining sensitivity of a subject having colorectal cancer to an anti-cancer agent, which is oxaliplatin or a salt thereof, the method comprising: a) administering oxaliplatin or a salt thereof to a subject having colorectal cancer; b) obtaining a specimen from the subject; and c) measuring a level of N-acetylglucosamine in the specimen. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising comparing the level of N-acetylglucosamine in the specimen to a standard, and administering oxaliplatin or a salt thereof to the subject having colorectal cancer when the level of N-acetylglucosamine in the specimen is the same or less compared to the standard.
