  • Publication number: 20140079813
    Abstract: Provided are methods, systems and kits for predicting post-relapse survival of a cancer patient and for identifying cancer genes predictive of the post-relapse survival of the patient. Values representing gene expression levels of a group of genes associated with survival of the cancer cells are determined using gene expression profiling platforms and a plurality of probe sets that hybridize to one or more of the genes in the group. A predictive model establishes a predictive value based on the weighted contribution of each gene associated with survival of the cancer cells to risk of death for the cancer patient and imports expression values of the genes in the group that is indicative of a risk of death for the relapsed patient.
