METHOD OF USING BIOMARKERS AND CLINICAL VARIABLES FOR PREDICTING CHEMOTHERAPY BENEFIT

摘要

Provided herein are methods for predicting chemotherapy benefit. The invention predicts chemotherapy benefit based on the expression analysis of biomarkers, e.g., RNA biomarker transcription analysis, taken from a tumor sample. The biomarker expression data can be combined with clinical variables, e.g., tumor size and nodal status, to generate a profile that predicts the benefit of including chemotherapy as a treatment decision.
