Abstract

This invention provides compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers that exhibit decreased SOCS-3 expression.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of detecting cancer in a patient, the method comprising:
 determining the level of a transcript encoding SEQ ID NO:2 in a biological sample from the patient; and   detecting a decrease in the level of the transcript relative to normal, thereby detecting the presence of cancer in the patient.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the cancer is selected from a group consisting of lung cancer, breast cancer, mesothelioma, colon cancer, and sarcoma. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of determining the level of the transcript comprises an amplification reaction. 
     
     
         4 - 25 . (canceled)
