摘要:
The invention relates to compositions, kits, and methods for detecting, characterizing, preventing, and treating human breast cancers. A variety of newly identified markers are provided, wherein changes in the levels of expression of one or more of the markers is correlated with the presence of breast cancer.

摘要:
The present invention provides the identification and combination of genes that are expressed in tumors that are responsive to a given therapeutic agent and whose combined expression can be used as an index that correlates with responsiveness to that therapeutic agent. One or more of the genes of the present invention may be used as markers (or surrogate markers) to identify tumors that are likely to be successfully treated by that agent or class of agents such as hormonal or endocrine therapy or chemotherapy.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method for determining survival and relapse of a patient undergoing therapy for a tumor by determining a residual cancer burden index based on the bidimensional diameters of a primary tumor bed of said tumor in a resection specimen, the proportion of the primary tumor bed area that contains invasive carcinoma, the number of regional lymph nodes containing metastatic carcinoma, the diameter of the largest metastasis in an regional lymph node; and the fractional reduction in lymph node size with each added positive lymph node.
摘要:
A method of evaluating a cancer patient comprising evaluating gene expression levels in a patient sample, calculating a predictor score using the gene expression levels, and assessing the likelihood of a therapeutic outcome using the predictor score is disclosed.
