Claim Text:
1. A method for treating cancer, which comprises: (a) obtaining a specimen of cancer tissue and normal tissue from a patient; (b) extracting total protein and RNA from the cancer tissue and the normal tissue; (c) obtaining a protein and an RNA expression profile of the cancer tissue and the normal tissue; (d) identifying one or more over-expressed proteins in the cancer tissue, wherein the protein is considered to be over-expressed if the protein is found in the cancer tissue at higher levels than in normal tissue; (e) comparing the protein and RNA expression profile to a gene expression profile; (f) identifying at least one prioritized protein for targeting in a cancer associated pathway by connecting the over-expressed protein and RNA to the cancer associated pathway; (g) making an RNA interference expression cassette to modulate the expression of at least one gene encoding the at least one prioritized protein; and (h) providing a patient with an effective amount of the RNA interference expression cassette.
