Abhängigkeit des symptomfreien Überlebens 5-FU behandelter Darmkrebspatienten vom Verhältnis der mRNA-Expressionshöhe aus Thymidinphosphorylase und Dihydropyrimidindehydrogenase

The present invention is directed to a method for determining whether a patient suffering from cancer is susceptable to a treatment with a 5-Fluoro-Uracil analogon comprising a) determination of Thymidine Phosphorylase mRNA expression in a clinical sample, b) determination of Dihydropyrimindine Dehy...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:The present invention is directed to a method for determining whether a patient suffering from cancer is susceptable to a treatment with a 5-Fluoro-Uracil analogon comprising a) determination of Thymidine Phosphorylase mRNA expression in a clinical sample, b) determination of Dihydropyrimindine Dehydrogenase mRNA expression in said clinical sample, and c) determination of the ratio of the value obtained in step a) and the value obtained in step b). If the ratio exceeds a certain cut off, susceptability to 5-FU and/or 5-FU analoga can be expected.
