<p>It has been found that the level of protein tyrosine phosphatase α (PTPα) expression is increased in significant numbers of tumors and that PTPα can be used as a marker for the diagnosis or prognosis of cancers. Accordingly, the invention provides a method for diagnosis or prognosis of a cancer, which method comprises detection of PTPα or PTPα nucleic acid. In general, the level of PTPα or PTPα nucleic acid in a first biological sample derived from tissue suspected of being neoplastic or potentially neoplastic is compared with the level in a second biological sample derived from normal tissue.</p> |
