Abstract: The invention relates to a prognostic method of analyzing a biological sample from a cancer patient to predict his/her response to a specified modality of cancer treatment comprising the steps of: (a) performing spectroscopy on the biological sample to obtain a spectrum; (b) comparing the obtained spectrum with one or more spectra to calculate a probability of a response to the specified modality of cancer treatment by the cancer patient.

Abstract: This invention relates to a hair dyeing composition showing excellent dyeing ability comprising at least one direct acting hair dye and benzylurea and/or benzyl carbamate and/or N-(2-methoxybenzyl)urea. The direct acting hair dyes are preferably selected from anionic, acidic dyestuffs. In addition to benzylurea and/or benzyl carbamate and/or N-(2-methoxybenzyl)urea compositions further comprise organic solvents as penetration enhancers. Compositions according to the invention has a pH in the range from 1 to 5 and preferably comprises polymeric thickening agents, organic and/or inorganic acids and conditioning agents.
