  • Publication number: 20230212679
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the effectiveness of an angiogenesis inhibitor in a subject suffering from a tumor. Provided is a method comprising a step of testing for the presence or absence of an a mutation or loss of expression of B-Raf and PTEN in a sample of tumor tissue from the subject. By using the presence or absence of or a mutation or loss of expression of B-Raf and PTEN as an indicator, this method enables the antitumor effectiveness of the angiogenesis inhibitor to be predicted without administering the angiogenesis inhibitor to the subject.

  • Publication number: 20100291592
    Abstract: The sensitivity of a tumor cell to a sulfonamide compound or the anti-tumor effect of a sulfonamide compound can be examined by determining the expression level of EGFR1 in the tumor cell and employing the variation in the EGFR1 expression level as a measure. Thus, a method for determination of the sensitivity of a tumor cell to a sulfonamide compound; a method for determination of the anti-tumor effect of a sulfonamide compound; and a test kit for use in these methods are provided.
