The present invention relates to a method for stratifying cancer patients according to the cellular phenotype of the tumour based and in particular, according to the presence of stroma and/or location of tumour vessels within the tumour or stromal compartments of a tumour. This patient stratification permits identification of patients whose tumours are more likely to be responsive to treatment with anti-cancer drugs, such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF) signalling inhibitors. This invention therefore provides personalised healthcare opportunities in the cancer arena.
