Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for detecting cancer (e.g., prostate cancer) and for inhibiting metastasis (e.g., associated with prostate cancer). In particular, the present invention provides methods of detecting vimentin expression and secretion and for characterizing cancer (e.g., prostate cancer). In addition, the present invention provides methods for inhibiting metastasis (e.g., of prostate cancer) via altering (e.g., inhibiting) vimentin expression and/or activity.
