The present invention relates to quantitative molecular indicators that can guide clinical decisions in breast cancer, such as estrogen receptor (ESR1)- positive, lymph node-negative breast cancer. In particular, the invention concerns certain genes, the varied expression of which indicates the likelihood of recurrence of surgically resected breast cancer in patients who are not treated with a therapeutic agent in the adjuvant setting. In addition, the invention concerns the use of quantitative measurement of the expression of certain genes, including the ESR1 gene, that measures as a continuous variable, to determine (a) the likelihood of a beneficial response to the anti- estrogen therapeutic agent, such as tamoxifen; and (b) the potential magnitude of beneficial response to chemotheraphy.

La présente invention concerne des indicateurs moléculaires quantitatifs qui peuvent guider des décisions cliniques dans le cancer du sein, tels que le cancer du sein positif-récepteur oestrogènes (ESR1), négatif- ganglion lymphatique. Cette invention concerne en particulier certains gènes, dont l'expression modifiée indique la vraisemblance d'une récurrence d'un cancer du sein traité par chirurgie chez des patientes qui ne sont pas traitées avec un agent thérapeutique dans le traitement adjuvant. Par ailleurs, cette invention concerne l'utilisation de mesure quantitative de l'expression de certains gènes, notamment du gène ESR1, qui donne une mesure sous forme de variable continue, afin de déterminer (a) la vraisemblance d'une réponse bénéfique à cet agent thérapeutique anti-oestrogène, tel que le tamoxifène et, (b) l'importance potentielle de la réponse bénéfique à la chimiothérapie.
