<p>A method of prognosis of a cancer patient comprising subjecting a sample of primary tumour tissue of defined type and grade from the patient to quantitative analysis of KAI1 gene expression and determining whether KAI1 expression level is elevated or reduced relative to a threshold value for the defined tumour tissue type and grade; wherein elevated expression is indicative of restraint of future tumour progression and reduced expression is indicative of future tumour metastasis. A method of detection of tumour presence within tissue of a patient comprising subjecting a sample of tissue of defined type to quantitative analysis of KAI1 gene expression and determining whether KAI1 expression level is elevated or reduced relative to a threshold value for tissue of the defined type; wherein elevated expression is indicative of tumour presence within the tissue.</p> |
