Abstract: The present invention concerns diagnosing and/or prognosticating cancer in an individual and/or determining response to a Hsp90-interacting therapy in an individual. In particular, the methods and compositions of the therapy relate to levels of Hsp90-? in plasma. Additional methods concern determining levels of Hsp90-associated molecules.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for determining whether a selected cancer is susceptible to an activity of an arylhydrocarbon receptor agonist, such as aminoflavone, via screening the cancer for expression of isoform 3 of aryl hydrocarbon nuclear translocator.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating breast cancer by administering to a mammal aminoflavone, and optionally one or more additional anti-cancer agents. According to example embodiments, the methods include methods of treating cancers resistant to endocrine therapy.

Abstract: A new class of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors that also have antiproliferative activity in human tumor cell line assays are described.

Abstract: A method of using a ureido derivative of a poly-4-amino-2-carboxy-1-methyl pyrrole or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to inhibit inflammation, particularly non-TNF-&agr; dependent inflammation, in a mammal.

Abstract: A new class of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors that also have antiproliferative activity in human tumor cell line assays are described.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of treating cancer including administering an effective amount of selected terpenes to a mammal having the cancer when the cancer is prostate cancer, colon cancer, astrocytoma, or sarcoma. The terpene is selected from the group consisting of a cyclic monoterpene, a noncyclic monoterpene, a noncyclic sesquiterpene and a noncyclic diterpene. The invention also provides a method of sensitizing a cancer to radiation including administering an effective amount of a terpene to a mammal having the cancer wherein the terpene is selected from the group noted above. Additionally, the invention provides methods of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells including applying an effective amount of a selected terpene to the cancer cells which are cells of prostate cancer, colon cancer, osteosarcoma, or glioblastoma.

Abstract: The invention is to a method of treating malignancies with cholera toxin after determining if labelled beta subunit cholera toxin binds to the tissue.
