Abstract

An immune response subtype of cancer is associated with DNA damage which allows subjects to be stratified for particular therapies including immune therapies which may be combined with DNA damage therapeutics. A method for predicting responsiveness to an antagonist of an inhibitory immune checkpoint and/or an agonist of a stimulatory immune checkpoint comprises determining the expression level of at least one gene selected from Table 2B, 2A or 1 in a sample from the subject. The determined expression level is used to predict responsiveness to an antagonist of an inhibitory immune checkpoint and/or an agonist of a stimulatory immune checkpoint.
