Title:
METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF CHEMOTHERAPY EMPLOYING EXPRESSION LEVEL OF DIHYDROPYRIMIDINE DEHYDROGENASE GENE AS MEASURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/134588
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a novel anti-tumor agent which has a higher life-span prolonging effect than those of standard therapies containing no dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase inhibitor and containing 5-fluorouracil which have been practiced in Europe and United States. The anti-tumor agent comprises a tegafur-gimeracil-oteracil potassium combination and cisplatin, for which advanced gastric cancer patients are selected by employing dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase as a measure. The anti-tumor agent can exhibit a superior life-span prolonging effect than those of standard therapies containing no dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase inhibitor and containing 5-fluorouracil which have been practiced in Europe and United States.
