Abstract: The invention relates to a prognostic method of analyzing a biological sample from a cancer patient to predict his/her response to a specified modality of cancer treatment comprising the steps of: (a) performing spectroscopy on the biological sample to obtain a spectrum; (b) comparing the obtained spectrum with one or more spectra to calculate a probability of a response to the specified modality of cancer treatment by the cancer patient.
