Gene expression markers for predicting response to chemotherapy
First Claim
1. A method for predicting the likelihood of pathologic complete response to chemotherapy that comprises administration of both anthracycline and taxane in a human patient diagnosed with breast cancer comprising:
- (a) assaying the level of an CEGP1 RNA or protein in a tissue sample obtained from a breast tumor of said human patient;
(b) normalizing said level against a level of at least one reference RNA or protein in said tissue sample to provide a normalized CEGP1 expression level; and
(c) predicting the likelihood of pathologic complete response of the human patient to chemotherapy that comprises administration of anthracycline and taxane, wherein said prediction is based on said normalized CEGP1 expression level, wherein CEGP1 expression is negatively correlated with the likelihood of pathologic complete response to chemotherapy comprising administration of anthracycline and taxane.

Abstract
The present invention provides sets of genes the expression of which is important in the prognosis of cancer. In particular, the invention provides gene expression information useful for predicting whether cancer patients are likely to have a beneficial treatment response to chemotherapy FHIT; MTA1; ErbB4; FUS; BBC3; IGF1R; CD9; TP53BP1; MUC1; IGFBP5; rhoC; RALBP1; STAT3; ERK1; SGCB; DHPS; MGMT; CRIP2; ErbB3; RAP1GDS1; CCND1; PRKCD; Hepsin; AK055699; ZNF38; SEMA3F; COL1A1; BAG1; AKT1; COL1A2; Wnt.5a; PTPD1; RAB6C; GSTM1, BCL2, ESR1; or the corresponding expression product, is determined, said report includes a prediction that said subject has a decreased likelihood of response to chemotherapy.
