The use of HspBP1 protein or part thereof for the preparation of an anti-tumor pharmaceutical composition, and its optional combination with one or more chemotherapeutic agents. A gene construct for the expression of said protein; a production process; a process of evaluation of tumor cells; and a method of sensitization of tumors to chemotherapeutic agents. A new experimental model in vivo and in vitro for the development/evaluation of anti-tumor agents. The pharmaceutical compositions provide anti-tumor action and have high specificity to neoplastic cells, resulting in less cytotoxicity to normal dividing cells, in part as a solution to the drawbacks of currently known chemotherapy therapeutic regimens.
