Abstract
The present invention relates to a scoring system for the prediction of cancer recurrence by selecting genes and/or proteins whose expression patterns associated with recurrence of cancer, and generating formulae with the selected genes and/or proteins for the prediction of cancer recurrence. The present invention relates to a kit for determining the likelihood of recurrence of cancer, comprising DNA chip, oligonucleotide chip, protein chip, peptides, antibodies, probes and primers that are necessary for effecting DNA microarrays, oligonucleotide microarrays, protein arrays, northern blotting, in situ hybridization, RNase protection assays, western blotting, ELISA assays, reverse transcription polymerase-chain reaction to examine the expression of at least 2, 4, 6, 10, 12 or more genes and/or proteins, that are indicative of cancer recurrence.
