METHOD FOR THE INDIVIDUALISED PROGNOSIS, RECOMMENDATION AND/OR MONITORING OF THERAPY AND/OR AFTER-CARE OF A TUMOROUS DISEASE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the individualised prognosis, recommendation and/or monitoring of therapy and/or after-care of the tumorous disease of a patient. Methods of this type are necessary to obtain precise decision criteria for a specific therapy or the resumption of a therapy. According to the invention: a first genome profile or expression profile of a first sample containing tumorous tissue is detected at the time of the diagnosis of the tumour, said profile containing the genome status or expression status of a first plurality of human genes; the genome status or expression status is stored for the respective patient for an individual selection of human genes from a plurality of detected genes; and an additional genome profile or expression profile of a second sample containing lymph node tissue, bone marrow and/or bodily fluid is detected at a later point for the genes of the individual selection, said profile being compared with the first genome profile or expression profile. A recommendation of therapy, or a prognosis or therapy evaluation is then carried out as a result of said comparison.
