摘要:
A factor affecting sensitivities to anticancer agents is analyzed and the validity of the factor is demonstrated.The present invention provides a method for predicting sensitivities to 5-fluorouracil-based anticancer agents using the copy number of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase gene as an indicator. Also disclosed are a kit and primers for use in predicting sensitivities to 5-fluorouracil-based anticancer agents.

摘要:
A method for predicting a therapeutic effect of chemotherapy with a combination drug containing tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium in a gastric cancer patient by: (1) measuring an expression level of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in a biological sample obtained from the patient; (2) comparing the expression level of EGFR obtained in step (1) with a corresponding predetermined cut-off point; and (3) predicting that the patient is likely to sufficiently respond to chemotherapy when a tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium combination drug is used with an EGFR inhibitor, when the step (2) comparison reveals that the expression level of EGFR is greater than the cut-off point, or predicting that the patient is likely to sufficiently respond to chemotherapy when a tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium combination drug is used alone, when the step (2) comparison reveals that the expression level of EGFR is not greater than the cut-off point.
