Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a method of detecting a risk of the progression from a pre-invasive neoplasia of the glandular epithelium. More particularly, the present invention provides a method of detecting a risk of the progression from a pre-invasive breast neoplasia by screening for the level of expression of Stefin A in the myoepithelial cells. The method of the present invention is useful in a range of applications including, but not limited to, assessing a neoplastic condition, monitoring the progression of such a condition, predicting the likelihood of a subject progressing to a more advance disease state or informing decisions in relation to the design of treatment schedules.
