Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011024433A1] The present invention provides methods for detecting and diagnosing cancer, such methods involving the determination of the expression level of the ADAMTS18 gene. This gene was discovered to discriminate cancer cells from normal cells. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods of screening for therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of cancer and methods for treating cancer. Moreover, the present invention provides double-stranded molecules targeting the ADAMTS18, all of which are suggested to be useful in the treatment of cancer.
