A method of treating or preventing cancer by administering to a mammal a therapeutically effective amount of at least one anti-neurotrophin agent is described. The anti-neurotrophin agent is preferably an anti-neurotrophin antibody, an antisense molecule directed to a neurotrophin, a small organic molecule which binds a neurotrophin, or a dominant-negative mutation of a trk receptor that binds a neurotrophin. This method is particularly preferred for the treatment of prostate or pancreatic cancer. The anti-neurotrophic agents neutralize NGF, BDNF, NT-3, NT-4/5, NT-6 or NT-7 and include humanized antibodies as well as fragments thereof.

L'invention concerne une méthode de traitement ou de prévention du cancer, consistant à administrer à un mammifère une quantité efficace d'un point de vue thérapeutique d'au moins un agent anti-neurotrophique. L'agent anti-neurotrophique est, de préférence, un anticorps anti-neurotrophique, une molécule antisens dirigée contre une neurotrophine, une petite molécule organique liée à une neurotrophine, ou une mutation dominante négative d'un récepteur trk lié à une neurotrophine. Cette méthode est utilisée, en particulier, dans le traitement du cancer de la prostate ou du pancréas. Les agents anti-neurotrophiques neutralisent NGF, BDNF, NT-3, NT-4/5, NT-6 ou NT-7, et comprennent des anticorps humanisés ainsi que des fragments de ceux-ci.
