CONTACTIN-1 (CNTN1) FOR USE IN METHODS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PROSTATE CANCER

摘要

A method of determining prostate cancer, or progression, recurrence or metastasis of prostate cancer in a male mammal is provided. The method comprises the steps of determining in a biological sample obtained from the mammal the expression level of CNTN1 in the sample, comparing the CNTN1 expression level to a control level, and determining that the mammal has prostate cancer when the expression level of CNTN1 in the sample is greater than the control level.
