A method for detecting a kallikrein 8 polypeptide associated with ovarian cancer in a patient is provided comprising detecting kallikrein 8 polypeptide in a sample from the patient. Methods are also provided for monitoring the progression of ovarian cancer in a patient, determining whether ovarian cancer has metastasized or is likely to metastasize in the future, and assessing the aggressiveness or indolence of ovarian cancer. In addition, methods for assessing the potential efficacy of a test agent for inhibiting ovarian cancer in a patient, selecting an agent for inhibiting ovarian cancer in a patient, and assessing the ovarian cancer cell carcinogenic potential of a test compound are described. The invention also contemplates a method of treating a patient susceptible to, or having a cancer that expresses a kallikrein 8 polypeptide.

L'invention concerne un procédé de détection de kallicréine 8 polypeptide associé au cancer ovarien chez une patiente, consistant à détecter le kallicréine 8 polypeptide dans un échantillon provenant de la patiente. L'invention concerne également des procédés consistant à surveiller la progression du cancer ovarien chez une patiente, à déterminer si le cancer ovarien a entraîné des métastases ou est susceptible de développer des métastases dans le futur, et à évaluer l'agressivité ou l'indolence du cancer ovarien. En outre, l'invention concerne des procédés permettant d'estimer l'efficacité potentielle d'un agent d'essai pour l'inhibition du cancer ovarien chez une patiente, de sélectionner un agent d'inhibition du cancer ovarien chez une patiente, et d'estimer le potentiel carcinogène des cellules cancéreuses ovariennes d'un composé d'essai. Enfin, l'invention concerne un procédé de traitement d'une patiente susceptible d'avoir, ou ayant un cancer exprimant un kallicréine 8 polypeptide.
