  • Publication number: 20120278000
    Abstract: A method for assessing an efficacy of combination chemotherapy, comprising: a first obtaining process for obtaining a specific activity value of Cyclin Dependent Kinase (CDK) 1 and a specific activity value of CDK2 in a biological sample including a carcinoma cell collected from a cancer patient; a second obtaining process for obtaining a GST? expression level in the biological sample; and an assessment process for assessing the efficacy of the combination chemotherapy on the cancer patient based on the specific activity values of CDK1 and CDK2 obtained in the first obtaining process and the GST? expression level obtained in the second obtaining process.

  • Patent number: 7957910
    Abstract: A method for predicting an effectiveness of chemotherapy is described. The method comprises a comparing step and a predicting step. The comparing step is a step of comparing a threshold value with a parameter of a cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) included in a sample containing a tumor cell obtained from a human patient. The predicting step is a step of predicting the effectiveness based on a comparison result of the comparing step. Above stated parameter is selected from the group consisting of an activity, an expression level, and a ratio of activity to expression level.
