Abstract: This invention pertains to methods and composition of novel assays for the measurements of soluble JAM-1, 2, and 3 in body fluids for the diagnosis and therapeutic of various pathological disorders involved in cardiovascular, vascular, inflammatory, and angiogenesis-mediated disorders (cancer, ocular, inflammatory disorders). Additionally, these novel assays can be used to monitor therapeutics used for the prevention and treatment of these disorders.

Abstract: This invention provides for the prevention and treatment of tumor growth, metastasis, and cancer-mediated thrombosis through the administration, in combination, of a short or long acting GPIIb/IIIa antagonist (A) and anticoagulant (B) that might include the following: UFH or low molecular weight heparin, (LMWH), ultra LMWH, pentasaccharide or direct anti-Xa or direct anti-IX/IXa, direct anti-IIa (thrombin) or tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) by any means that produces contact of the agents with their site of action wherein at least one of the components of each of these combinations is given in reduced amount. This combined formulation could be used as a stand-alone regimen or in conjunction with other therapies (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, angiogenesis inhibitors, . . . ), and pre- & post-tumor surgery in the prevention and treatment of cancer associated metastasis, angiogenesis, tumor growth, and thrombosis.
