To provide appropriate treatment for
liver cancer patients, we offer indicators of sensitivity to multi-
kinase inhibitors. [Solution] The present invention provides a testing method, testing apparatus, and testing program that use the
fat content in
liver cancer tissue as an indicator of sensitivity to multi-
kinase inhibitors. This makes it possible to predict the
therapeutic effect of multi-
kinase inhibitors and provide appropriate treatment to individual
liver cancer patients. The
fat content can be calculated from images of liver
cancer tissue or signals for
image display. Images include MRI images, CT images,
ultrasound images, stained images of tissue biopsies, etc. Signals for
image display include MR signals, etc. Examples of multi-kinase inhibitors include
lenvatinib and
sorafenib.
