ABSTRACT:
The invention provides diagnostic and prognostic methods which comprise determining the level of expression of the tumor suppressor gene pRb2/p130. Because the relative level of pRb2/p130 expression correlates with tumor grade and patient prognosis, these methods may be used to detect the presence of cancer, to make treatment decisions, and to predict the risk of cancer in disease-free individuals.
