Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0111361A2] The present invention relates to a diagnostic kit and use thereof for the stratification of patients for a treatment of hormone-dependent benign and malignant neoplasias. The kit contains antibodies that are directed against to a proliferation marker, preferably the Ki-67 protein, MCM, PCNA, Cyclines, phosphorylated histones, etc., and in particular the Ki-67 protein, on the one hand, and antibodies that are directed against a second marker selected form the group of hormone receptors such as the estrogen receptor, apoptotic marker like caspase cleaved cytokeratine 18 as defined by the mAb CD30, and bcl-2; transforming cell markers or tumor cell markers, like Her-2/neu on the other hand. The marker indices (e.g. Ki-67 marker index and hormone receptor status) generated with the aid of the antibodies can be set related to each other and serve for an optimal determination of the form of treatment.
