  • Patent number: 6548062
    Abstract: A method of treating or preventing cancer by administering to a mammal a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-neurotrophin agent is described. The anti-neurotrophin agent is preferably an anti-neurotrophin antibody, an antisense molecule directed to a neurotrophin, a small organic molecule which binds a neurotrophin, or a dominant-negative mutation of a trk receptor that binds a neurotrophin. This method is particularly preferred for the treatment of prostate or pancreatic cancer. The anti-neurotrophic agents neutralize NGF, BDNF, NT-3, NT-4/5, NT-6 or NT-7 and include humanized antibodies as well as fragments thereof.
