Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for predicting a response of a tumor in a patient suffering from or at risk of developing recurrent gynecologic cancer towards a chemotherapeutic agent, said method comprising the steps of: a) obtaining a biological sample from said patient; b) determining the pattern of expression level of at least one gene of the group comprising AKR1C1, MLPH, ESR1, PGR, COMP, DCN, IGKC, CCL5, FBN1 and/or UBE2C, or of genes coregulated therewith, in said sample; c) comparing the pattern of expression levels determined in (b) with one or several reference pattern (s) of expression levels; d) identifying at least one marker gene; e) determining a molecular subtype for said sample on the basis of (d); and f) predicting from said molecular subtype response of a tumor for a chemotherapeutic agent, wherein the molecular subtype is selected from the group comprising the subtypes basal, stromal-high, stromal-low, luminal A, immune system-high, immune system-low, proliferation-high and/or proliferation-low.
