  1. 1
    A method of identifying a candidate treatment for a subject in need thereof, comprising:(a) performing an immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis on a sample from the subject to determine an IHC expression profile on at least five proteins;(b) performing a microarray analysis on the sample to determine a microarray expression profile on at least ten genes;(c) performing a fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) analysis on the sample to determine a FISH mutation profile on at least one gene;(d) performing DNA sequencing on the sample to determine a sequencing mutation profile on at least one gene;and (e) comparing the IHC expression profile, microarray expression profile, FISH mutation profile and sequencing mutation profile against a rules database, wherein the rules database comprises a mapping of treatments whose biological activity is known against cancer cells that: i. overexpress or underexpress one or more proteins included in the IHC expression profile;ii. overexpress or underexpress one or more genes included in the microarray expression profile;iii. have no mutations, or one or more mutations in one or more genes included in the FISH mutation profile;and/or iv. have no mutations, or one or more mutations in one or more genes included in the sequencing mutation profile;and (f) identifying the candidate treatment if: i. the comparison in step (e) indicates that the treatment should have biological activity against the cancer;and ii. the comparison in step (e) does not contraindicate the treatment for treating the cancer.
