摘要:
An object of the invention is to find a cancer-associated gene to be used as an index for detecting canceration of cells and degree of malignancy of cancer, so as to to provide a method for detecting cancer using the cancer-associated gene as an index and provide a method of suppressing/treating cancer using the cancer-associated gene as essential part. According to the present invention, specific genes which are amplified or deleted in pancreatic carcinoma as compared with normal cell have been collectively found, and a method for detecting cancer using amplification or deletion of these cancer-associated genes as an index is provided. Further, cancer can be suppressed by introducing a gene which is deleted in cancer cells amond these cancer-associated genes into cancer and inhibiting the transcription product of the gene amplified.

The present invention is intended to provide a means for judging the malignancy of neuroblastoma and the progress of spontaneous regression thereof. The present invention provides a method for detecting cancer which comprises detecting activation or inactivation of the lysosomal-associated protein multispanning transmembrane 5 (LAPTM5) gene and amplification of the MYCN gene in a specimens to evaluate the malignancy of the specimens and the progress of spontaneous regression.
