PROCEDURE FOR ASSESSING IF A PATIENT WITH GLIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORM IS SUITABLE FOR IMMUNTERY TREATMENT BASED ON DENDRITIC CELL TUMOR VACCINES

摘要

A method of evaluating if a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patient is applicable to be treated with an immunotherapy based on dendritic cell tumor vaccines includes a sample obtaining step to obtain a sample from the GBM patient, a detecting step to detect an expression level of a biomarker, and a comparing step to compare the expression level of the biomarker to a threshold, wherein the GBM patient is applicable to treat with the immunotherapy based on dendritic cell tumor vaccines when the expression level of the biomarker is lower than the threshold. A method of prognosticating a survival rate in the GBM patient after a treatment includes a sample obtaining step, a detecting step, and a comparing step, wherein the GBM patient is determined to have a good prognosis after the treatment when the expression level of the sample from the GBM is lower than the threshold.
