Zusammenfassung:Methods for selecting whether to administer an anti-angiogenic therapeutic agent to a subject include steps of measuring the expression levels of one or more biomarkers selected from Table 2 or Table 3 in a sample from the subject; assessing from the expression levels of the one or more biomarkers whether the sample from the subject is positive or negative for a biomarker signature, wherein if the sample is positive for the biomarker signature an anti-angiogenic therapeutic agent is contraindicated. Related prognostic methods and treatment methods are also provided. The invention is particularly applicable in ovarian and colorectal cancers.
