Method for evaluating the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma

摘要

A method for evaluating the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma comprising the following steps (a) to (c)(A) detecting the expression level of at least one gene selected from the SIM 2 gene and the gene coexpressed with the SIM 2 gene, for a squamous cell carcinoma sample isolated from a subject,(B) comparing the expression level detected in step (a) with a reference expression level of each gene,(C) determining that the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma in said subject is high if the expression level in said subject is higher than each reference expression level as a result of the comparison in step (b).
