1. A method for predicting a therapeutic effect of a chemotherapy using an antitumor agent comprising an LSD1 inhibitor in a cancer patient, comprising
obtaining a sample containing tumor cells from said cancer patient,
measuring INSM1 expression in said sample,
determining that the expression level of INSM1 is equal to or higher than a predetermined cut-off point, and
administering said antitumor agent comprising an LSD1 inhibitor to said cancer patient,
wherein the LSD1 inhibitor is a biphenyl compound represented by Formula (I) below,
