Abstract

See full text

Provided herein are kits for detecting and quantifying the level of a metastatic cancer biomarker(s) in a patient. The kits may contain a detection and quantifying means, such as, biomarker specific antibodies. Also provided are methods for determining a prognosis, a stratification and/or monitoring of a metastatic cancer in a patient. The level or activity of at least two biomarkers, such as obscurin, PI3K, E-cadherin, or N-cadherin is measured in a patient sample and compared to corresponding biomarkers in a control sample. A significant difference in the level or activity of the biomarkers between the patient sample and control is indicative of a metastatic cancer. In addition a method for treating a metastatic breast cancer via administration of a PI3K inhibitor and an agent that increases expression of obscurin is provided.
