    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for predicting the responsiveness of a mammalian tumor cell or cancer cell to an inhibitor of a fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). Also a method for predicting the responsiveness of an individual to an inhibitor of a fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) is provided. These methods involve the evaluation of the status of FGFR and the status of c-myc, whereby said status of FGFR and of c-myc is indicative for the responsiveness to the inhibitor. The status of FGFR may be its amplifcation status or its expression level and the status of c-myc may be its expression level, like an intermediate or high expression level of c-myc. Furthermore, a kit useful for carrying out the methods described herein as well as an oligo- or polynucleotide and/or antibodies capable of detecting the expression level or gene amplification status of FGFR or the expression level of c-myc for predicting the responsiveness to the inhibitor are provided.
