Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel cancer-associated biomarker and different applications and uses thereof. More specifically, the invention relates to a novel splice variant of CIP2A denoted as NOCIVA, as well as binding bodies such as probes, amplification primers, and antibodies specific for the same. Also provided are various methods for detecting and prognosing cancer on the basis of said splice variant, and a kit for use in said methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to EPLIN as a biomarker for cancer and particularly small-size (T1/T2N0 and/or stage I/II) cancer. Thus, the invention provides use of EPLIN and an in vitro method of prognosing cancer or diagnosing aggressive cancer in a subject on the basis of the expression level of EPLIN. Also provided is a method for selecting treatment for cancer or predicting response to treatment. Also provided is a kit for use in said methods.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to prostate cancer-associated genetic markers, namely HOXB13 rs138213197 and CIP2A rs2278911. Methods are disclosed of predicting, diagnosing and/or prognosing prostate cancer, such as a clinically relevant, aggressive form of prostate cancer, in a subject through determining his HOXB13 rs138213197 and CIP2A rs2278911 genotype. Different uses of the method, and a test kit for use in the method are disclosed.

Abstract: The invention is based on a finding that silencing HDAC4gene sensitizes cancer cells for apoptosis-inducing activity of certain small molecule chemotherapeutic agents. Thus, the invention is directed to a respective combination therapy, sensitization method and pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of selecting individualized brain cancer therapy on the basis of the patient's PME-1 expression level in the diseased tissue.

Abstract: The invention is based on a finding that silencing CIP2A (KIAA1524) gene sensitizes cancer cells for apoptosis-inducing activity of certain small molecule chemotherapeutic agents. Thus, the invention is directed to a respective combination therapy, sensitization method and pharmaceutical compositions. The invention further relates to a method of selecting cancer therapy for a subject on the basis of CIP2A and p53 expression and/or protein activity in a sample obtained from said subject.

Abstract: This invention relates to the inhibition of a newly discovered growth-stimulating protein in an individual. Further, the invention relates to a method for preventing or treating a cancer, or preventing or treating cancer growth, invasion or metastasis, or preventing or treating other hyperproliferative diseases in an individual, by down regulating the expression of said growth-stimulating protein or by inactivating said protein. Still further, the invention concerns a method for diagnosing cancer or other hyperproliferative diseases in an individual based on said growth-stimulating protein.
