Methods for diagnosing cancer, such as prostate, ovarian or breast cancer, as well as leukemia, are provided. Such methods may employ binding agents, such as antibodies or CAR sequences of OB-cadherin or N-cadherin, that specifically bind to OB-cadherin or N-cadherin, or polynucleotides that hybridize to a polynucleotide encoding OB-cadherin or N-cadherin. Also provided are methods for monitoring the progression of a cancer and to evaluate the metastatic potential of a cancer.

Os métodos para diagnosticar o cancer do cancer, tal como o prostate, o ovarian ou de peito, as.well.as o leukemia, são fornecidos. Tais métodos podem empregar agentes obrigatórios, tais como antibodies ou seqüências do CARRO de OB-cadherin ou N-cadherin, que ligam especificamente a OB-cadherin ou N-cadherin, ou polynucleotides que hybridize a um polynucleotide que codifica OB-cadherin ou N-cadherin. São fornecidos também os métodos para monitorar a progressão de um cancer e para avaliar o potencial metastatic de um cancer.
