Abstract: The present invention relates to a new tumor suppressor, designated FJX1. Also described are diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic uses of the FJX1 protein and the FJX1 gene, alone or in combination with traditional cancer therapies.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to methods of assessing colorectal cancer prognosis by examining the expression of particular genes disregulated in this disease state. Subjects exhibiting disregulation in one or more of these genes will have a higher risk of cancer recurrence and death.

Abstract: A method to enhance the cytotoxic activity of an antineoplastic drug comprising administering an effective amount of the antineoplastic drug to a host exhibiting abnormal cell proliferation in combination with an effective cytotoxicity-increasing amount of an antioxidant. The invention also includes a method to decrease the toxicity to an antineoplastic agent or increase the therapeutic index of an antineoplastic agent administered for the treatment of a solid growth of abnormally proliferating cells, comprising administering an antioxidant prior to, with, or following the antineoplastic treatment.
