摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing aggressiveness and/or genetic instability of a breast cancer in a patient from a breast cancer sample of said patient, comprising: a) measuring in vitro the expression level of the POLQ gene and the expression level of a control gene in said patient breast cancer sample; b) calculating for said POLQ gene an expression level ratio of the expression level of POLQ to the expression of the said control gene in said patient breast cancer sample; c) comparing the said POLQ expression level ratio to a corresponding threshold value, and d) diagnosing breast cancer aggressiveness and genetic instability if the said POLQ expression level ratio is superior to a corresponding threshold values. Dedicated microarrays and kits are also described, as well as a method of selecting a suitable treatment.

The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing aggressiveness of a lung cancer in a patient from a lung cancer sample of the patient, comprising: a) detecting in vitro an expression profile of the DNA replication stress signature, the signature comprising the CDC6, CLASPIN, PLK1, and POLQ genes, as well as, optionally, RAD51; b) comparing the the expression profile to a reference expression profile, and d) diagnosing cancer aggressiveness from the comparison. Dedicated microarrays and kits are also described, as well as a method of selecting or adapting a suitable treatment.
