Abstract: A method for treating patients afflicted with cancer, wherein the patients are treated with a compound including tyrosine kinase inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor or c-Kit inhibitor, in particular masitinib, optionally in combination with at least one antineoplastic agent. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor, mast cell inhibitor or c-Kit inhibitor, and the optional at least one antineoplastic agent, are administered in a dosage regimen that includes a therapeutically effective amount. Also described are methods for predicting therapeutic response to the treatment in a given patient and therefore identification of applicable patient subpopulations based upon these predictor factors; sometimes referred to as biomarkers. One method is based upon the clinical marker of pain intensity.
