    Abstract: The present invention provides an inhibitor of the ubiquitin-proteasome system for use in treating cancer in a patient, wherein the patient is assessed to establish that the cancer is associated with cells in which the functional activity of SMARCB1 is low or absent. In one embodiment, the patient has, or is suspected of having, breast cancer, an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) and/or a malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT). In one embodiment, the proteasome inhibitor is Bortezomib. Further aspects of the invention provide related uses and methods.
