Protein biomarker for the prediction of response to endocrine treatment in breast cancer patients (EndoPredict)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Classical pathologic parameters have been used to inform adjuvant clinical treatment choices for early breast cancer patients. There remain a significant number of patients however, who despite a reportedly favourable prognostic profile, experience metastatic disease. Elucidation of the mechanisms of tumour adaptability and the identification of predictive markers of early recurrence is the basis of personalized medicine. Work from our group has established the developmental protein HOXC11 as a powerful predictor of resistance to endocrine treatment in breast cancer patients .The aim of this project is to establish a joint industry-academia partnership to produce a commercially viable and clinically validated predictive assay/kit which based on the use of HOXC11 as a predictive biomarker of poor response to endocrine treatment in breast cancer patients.
