The present invention relates to methods and kits or articles of manufacture related thereto that may find use, inter alia, in assessing responsiveness of cancers to MUC16 antagonists by monitoring HE4 expression. In some embodiments, the methods include measuring the level of expression of HE4 in a sample from a subject; comparing the level of expression of HE4 in the sample with the level of expression of HE4 in a sample previously obtained from the subject; and, optionally, administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a MUC16 antagonist.
