    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for predicting the treatment response of a human bladder cancer patient, the method comprising: a) measuring the gene expression of at least 9, at least 10, at least 15, at least 20 or at least 30 of the genes from Group 1 in Table 10 and at least 1, at least 2, at least 3 or at least 5 of the genes from Groups 2-4 in Table 10 in a sample obtained from the bladder tumour of the patient to obtain a sample gene expression profile of at least said genes; and b) making a prediction of the treatment response and/or prognosis of the patient based on the sample gene expression profile. Related methods and systems are also described. The invention finds particular use in predicting whether a bladder cancer patient is likely to be sensitive to (chemo)radiation therapy.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-cancer vaccine comprising: (i) at least one peptide comprising the amino acid sequence of a neoantigen encoded by a mutant homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair gene selected from the group: BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, CDK12, RAD51B, RAD51C and RAD51D, wherein the mutant gene comprises a reversion mutation; and/or (ii) at least one polynucleotide encoding the at least one peptide of (i). Also provided are engineered T cells that recognise said neoantigen. Related methods and medical uses of the vaccine and/or engineered T cell are provided, including for the treatment of cancers, such as homologous recombination (HR) deficient cancers that acquire PARP inhibitor resistance or platinum resistance by development of reversion mutations in an HR DNA repair gene selected from the group: BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, CDK12, RAD51B, RAD51C and RAD51D.
