Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to the expression of two genes, CyclinG2 and Sharp1, which correlates with prognosis in individuals having breast cancer. Specifically, this invention provides a method to stratify samples from breast cancer patients in a high or low recurrence risk in the years following primary tumor removal. This classification can be achieved through the analysis of protein or mRNA expression levels for the two identified genes. The invention also illustrates how CyclinG2 and Sharp1 have been identified in mammary cancer cell lines and validated in a large cohort of human patients as powerful metastasis predictors.
