Microtubule-Associated Protein Tau: A Marker of Paclitaxel Sensitivity in Breast Cancer

Breast cancers show variable sensitivity to paclitaxel. There is no diagnostic test to identify tumors that are sensitive to this drug. We used U133A chips to identify genes that are associated with pathologic complete response (pCR) to preoperative paclitaxel-containing chemotherapy in stage I-III...

Zusammenfassung:Breast cancers show variable sensitivity to paclitaxel. There is no diagnostic test to identify tumors that are sensitive to this drug. We used U133A chips to identify genes that are associated with pathologic complete response (pCR) to preoperative paclitaxel-containing chemotherapy in stage I-III breast cancer (n = 82). Tau was the most differentially expressed gene. Tumors with pCR had significantly lower ($P
