A method of treatment and / or prevention of cancer comprises administering agents which cause increased intracellular granularity in cancer cells, at least in an amount sufficient to inhibit proliferation of such cells and preferably in an amount sufficient to lead to cancer cell death. The method is particularly directed to refractory cancer, particularly hormone refractory prostate cancer. The agents identified cause increased intracellular granularity in the cancer cells, and also convert adherent cancer cells to non-adherent cancer cells, leading to cancer cell death. Using the present invention, cancer cells undergo increased intracellular granularity at relatively low agent concentrations, while also inhibiting cell proliferation. Increased concentrations lead to conversion of adherent cancer cells to non-adherent cancer cells, then to cell death. While the exact mechanism of cancer cell degradation and death is not completely understood, the treated cancer cells, including refractory prostate cancer cells, give indications of cell death through an autophagic mechanism. Pharmaceutical compositions related to the presently disclosed methods are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to diarylhydantoin compounds, including diarylthiohydantoins, and methods for syntheszing them and using them in the treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer.

The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis of different stages of endometrial cancer in an individual. Further, the present invention relates to a method for evaluating the probability of survival for an individual suffering from endometrial carcinoma. In another aspect, the present invention relates to the stratification of therapy regimen of endometrial tumor, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, non-small lung cancer or hormone refractory prostate cancer therapy in an individual or monitoring therapeutic efficacy in an individual suffering from the same based on the expression status of STMN1 gene or protein. Moreover, the present invention relates to a kit for use in any of the above referenced methods comprising a means for determining amplifications and deletions of chromosomal regions 3q26.32 and 12p12.1, determining alterations of the gene expression profile of the genes (gene signature): upregulation of the genes PLEKHK1, ATP10B, NMU, MMP1, ATAD2, NETO2, TNNI3, PHLDA2, OVOL1 and down-regulation of the genes: NDP, KIAA1434, MME, CFH, MOXD1, SLC47A1, RBP1, PDE8B, ASRGL1, ADAMTS19, EFHD1, ABCA5, NPAS3, SCML1, TNXB, ENTPD3, AMY1A, ENPP, RASL11B, PDZK3, or the expression status of the STMN1 gene or protein, respectively. Finally, the present invention provides a method for predicting the response to taxanes in an individual suffering from a disease treated with the taxanes based on the expression status of the STMN1 gene or protein.

The invention provides application of small RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) of a targeted up-regulation INTS6 (Homo Sapiens Integrator Complex Subunit 6) gene to preparation of a hormone refractory prostate cancer fighting medicament. A nucleotide sequence of the small RNA consists of four pieces of positive-sense strands and anti-sense strands of 21 nucleotides; two nucleotides, which are generally dTdT, are overhung at the end 3' of each strand; and the middle 19 nucleotides are paired. According to the application, the expression of INTS6 gene in a hormone refractory prostate cancer cell is induced by the small double-stranded RNA of a specific sequence, so that the proliferation capacity and the movement capacity of tumor cells are inhibited, and the aim of inhibiting tumor growth and development is fulfilled. The small RNA is easy to operate, low in cost and less in using amount, and a good activation effect can be achieved with 20 nM transfection concentration; and the activation effect is clear, and the target gene mRNA (micro Ribonucleic Acid) level and the protein level are both raised. In addition, the saRNA (small activating RNA) induced gene expression belongs to apparent genetic regulation, the integrity of a genome is not damaged, and thus the application is safe.
