Abstract:
The present invention relates to a gene for predicting or diagnosing the prognosis of early-stage breast cancer and to a use thereof, and more specifically relates to a genetic marker for predicting or diagnosing the prognosis of breast cancer, including TRBC1 (T cell receptor beta constant 1), BTN3A2 (butyrophilin, subfamily 3, member A2) or HLA-DPA1 (major histocompatibility complex, class II, DP alpha 1) for providing information necessary for predicting or diagnosing the prognosis of a breast cancer patient. The genetic marker of the present invention allows the prediction or diagnosis of the prognosis of a breast cancer patient, and can therefore advantageously be used for the purpose of providing a direction as to the future course of breast cancer treatment, including a decision on whether anticancer therapy is necessary.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for predicting the prognosis of a breast cancer patient. More specifically, to provide information needed to predict the prognosis of a breast cancer patient, the method for predicting the prognosis of breast cancer including the following steps of the present invention comprises: (a) obtaining a biological sample from a breast cancer patient; (b) measuring the mRNA expression level of matrix metallopeptidase 11 (MMP11) and the mRNA expression level of cluster of differentiation 2 (CD2) from patient information or the sample of step (a); (c) normalizing the gene mRNA expression levels selected and measured in step (b); and (d) predicting the prognosis of breast cancer by combining the gene expression levels normalized in step (c), wherein overexpression of the MMP11 indicates a bad prognosis, and overexpression of CD2 indicates a good prognosis.The method of the present invention has an effect of being capable of more accurately predicting the future prognosis of metastasis, recurrence, or metastatic recurrence in breast cancer patients, and in particular, has a very excellent ability to predict the prognosis of HER2-type breast cancer, the prognosis of which is very poor, and thus can be usefully used to provide clues for the direction of future treatment of breast cancer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for detecting an epidermal cell growth factor receptor gene mutation and to a kit comprising the composition and, more specifically, to a primer and probe set composition for detecting an epidermal cell growth factor gene mutation, and to a kit for detecting an EGFR gene mutation, comprising the composition. A method according to the present invention can not only predict and diagnose responsiveness to a therapeutic agent for the prognosis of a cancer patient, but also predict a cancer metastasis or relapse Thus, the method can be useful for the purposes of determining the need to administer an anticancer therapeutic agent and guiding the direction of future treatment, and for monitoring a cancer metastasis or relapse.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of predicting the effectiveness of chemotherapy in a breast cancer patient, and more particularly, to a method for predicting the effectiveness of chemotherapy by measuring the expression levels of genes for predicting prognosis of breast cancer and a standard gene in a biological sample obtained from the breast cancer patient, and a method for predicting the difference between a patient group having a high effectiveness of chemotherapy and a patient group having a low effectiveness of chemotherapy.Therefore, the method of the present invention can accurately predict the effectiveness of chemotherapy for the breast cancer patient and can be used for the purpose of presenting clues about the direction of breast cancer treatment in the future.
