This document provides methods and materials involved in assessing chemotherapy responsiveness and treating cancer (e.g., breast cancer). For example, methods and materials for determining whether or not a cancer patient (e.g., a breast cancer patient) is likely to respond to chemotherapy (e.g., a taxane therapy) based at least in part on the presence of a variant in the mammal's polycystic kidney disease gene 1 (PKD1) are provided. In addition, methods and materials involved in treating mammals having cancer (e.g., breast cancer) by administering an inhibitor of ubiquitin specific peptidase 2 (USP2) polypeptide activity (e.g., NSC-632839, a 2-cyano-pyrimidine, or a 2-cyano-triazine) in combination with another chemotherapeutic agent such as a taxane therapy are provided.
本文件提供了评估化疗反应性和治疗癌症(如乳腺癌)的方法和材料。例如,本文提供了至少部分基于哺乳动物多囊肾病基因 1(PKD1)变异的存在来确定癌症患者(如乳腺癌患者)是否可能对化疗(如紫杉类药物疗法)产生反应的方法和材料。此外,还提供了通过施用泛素特异性肽酶 2(USP2)多肽活性抑制剂(如 NSC-632839、2-氰基嘧啶或 2-氰基三嗪)与另一种化疗剂(如紫杉类疗法)联合治疗患有癌症(如乳腺癌)的哺乳动物的方法和材料。
