Patent ID: 8831890

Claim:
A method of generating an individualized treatment report comprising: (a) obtaining a biological tumor sample from an individual diagnosed with breast cancer, wherein the individual has undergone prior treatment for the breast cancer; (b) providing a molecular profile for the individual by performing a molecular test for a group of target genes in the biological tumor sample, wherein the group of the target genes comprises EGFR, KIT, TOP1, MLH1, ESR1and PDGFRB; (c) providing a list of altered target genes by comparing the molecular profile to a normal breast tissue reference for each of the group of target genes to identify altered target genes in the biological tumor sample that exhibit a change compared to their respective normal reference; (d) accessing an electronic network comprising a drug database that contains information on possible drug therapy for the altered target genes to compile a list of possible drug therapies for treating the breast cancer; and (e) generating a report that provides the molecular profile and the list of possible drug therapies for treating the breast cancer, thereby generating the individualized treatment report.
