Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide chemotherapy that exerts strong life prolongation effect for stomach cancer patients, and has little adverse effect.SOLUTION: A method for predicting therapeutic effect of chemotherapy using a combination drug of tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil potassium in a stomach cancer patient includes the following processes (1) to (3): (1) a process of measuring an expression amount of EGFR containing in a biological sample collected from the patient; (2) a process of comparing the expression amount of EGFR obtained in the process (1) with a preset corresponding cut-off point; and (3) a process of, in the case where the expression amount of EGFR is higher than the cut-off point as a result of the comparison in the process (2), predicting it is highly likely to show sufficient therapeutic effect in order to select chemotherapy using the combination drug of tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil potassium and EGFR inhibitor in combination for the patient, and, in the case where the expression amount of EGFR is the cut-off point or less, predicting it is highly likely to show sufficient therapeutic effect in order to select chemotherapy using a combination drug of tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil potassium for the patient independently.SELECTED DRAWING: None
