An object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting cancer through identification of genes exhibiting characteristic behavior in the cases of cancer such as ovarian cancer, and a cell growth inhibitor. The present invention provides a method for detecting cancer, which comprises detecting canceration including malignancy of a specimen through detection of at least one alteration of a gene existing in a chromosomal region 2q14. 2, 3p24. 1, 3q26. 2, 3q29, 4q34. 2, 6q23, 9p21. 3, 11q13. 3, 13q22.1, 13q33. 1, 13q33. 3, 15q12, 15q15. 1, 17p12, 17p13. 1, 17p13. 3, 18q21. 1, 18q21. 2,18q21. 31, 18q21. 32, 18q21. 33, 18q23, 20q13. 13, 20q13. 2, 20q13. 31, 20q13. 33, Xp11. 23, Xp13.1, Xp13. 3, Xp26. 2, Xp26. 3, or Xq28 in the specimen.
The gene can be CTGF, ENPP1, ENPP3, CRSP3, ARG, AKAP7, EPB41L2, KIAA1913. Homozygons deletion of these genes occures in ovarian cancer.
