The present invention relates to a method for the diagnosis or the prognosis of metastasis in breast cancer which comprises determining if the c-MAF gene is amplified in a primary tumor sample. Likewise, the invention also relates to a method for the diagnosis or the prognosis of metastasis in ER− breast cancer, as well as to a method for determining the tendency to develop bone metastasis with respect to metastasis in other organs, which comprise determining the c-MAF gene expression level. Finally, the invention relates to the use of a c-MAF inhibitor as therapeutic target for treating the ER− breast cancer metastasis.
本发明涉及一种诊断或预后乳腺癌转移的方法,该方法包括确定原发肿瘤样本中 c-MAF
基因是否扩增。同样,本发明还涉及一种诊断或预后ER-乳腺癌转移的方法,以及一种确定骨转移与其他器官转移倾向的方法,其中包括确定c-MAF
基因的表达
水平。最后,本发明涉及使用 c-MAF
抑制剂作为治疗 ER- 乳腺癌转移的治疗靶点。
