Title:
GENE EXPRESSION MARKERS FOR RESPONSE TO EGFR INHIBITOR DRUGS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004071572
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention concerns prognostic markers associated with cancer. In particular, the invention concerns prognostic methods based on the molecular charaterization of gene expression in paraffin-embedded, fixed samples of cancer tissue, which allow a physician to predict whether a patient is likely to respond well to treatment with an EGFR inhibitor.
