Abstract:Biomarkers for selecting gastric cancer (GC) patients likely to benefit from sequential paclitaxel treatment followed by fluorinated-pyrimidine-based adjuvant chemotherapy were searched for using samples of patients recruited into SAMIT, a phase III randomized controlled trial. Total RNA was extracted from 556 GC patients and the expression of 105 genes were quantified using real-time PCR. Genes predicting positive effects of sequential paclitaxel on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), or cumul… Show more
