Abstract
A method for predicting a benefit from inclusion of taxane in a chemotherapy regimen in a patient suffering from or at risk of developing recurrent neoplastic disease, in particular breast cancer. Said method comprises the steps of: a) determining in a tumor sample from said patient the expression levels of the marker genes S100P and PCSK6, and b) mathematically combining the expression level values of the genes PCSK6 and S100P to yield a combined score and comparing said combined score to a reference-value, including a cutoff, wherein a high combined score is indicative of a benefit from including a taxane in a chemotherapy regimen of said patient and a low combined score is indicative of not having a benefit from including a taxane in a chemotherapy regimen of said patient or c) mathematically combining the expression level value of PCSK6 and S100P with the expression values of other genes to yield a combined score and comparing said combined score to a reference-value, including a cutoff, wherein a high combined score is indicative of a benefit from including a taxane in a chemotherapy regimen of said patient and a low combined score is indicative of not having a benefit from including a taxane in a chemotherapy regimen of said patient.
