摘要：
The present invention relates to methods for treating or preventing cancer and metastasis. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for treating or preventing cancer by decreasing the expression and/or activity of Flightless I. Also provided are methods for inhibiting the growth of a cancerous cell and methods for inhibiting formation and/or growth of a tumour which also rely on decreasing the expression and/or activity of Flightless I. The present invention also extends to methods for diagnosing cancer, methods for determining if a subject is susceptible to developing cancer, and methods for assessing progression of cancer based on the finding that increased expression and/or activity of Flightless I is associated with cancer development, growth and metastasis. The present invention also provides methods for screening for a candidate therapeutic agent useful for treating or preventing cancer, and related pharmaceutical compositions and kits.
