Abstract
This invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting the growth and/or metastasis of invasive pancreatic cancer in a subject, comprising a molecular-targeted anticancer agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the molecular-targeted anticancer agent is a conjugate of a toxin or cytotoxic agent and an antibody or fragment thereof which immunologically and specifically binds to a cell-surface folate receptor β (FRβ) protein of an FRβ (+) macrophage that exists around pancreatic cancer cells at the invasive front, and to a diagnostic agent and kit for determining the degree of malignancy of pancreatic cancer or the presence of invasive pancreatic cancer, characterized by determining that the cancer tissue is invasive and metastatic when FRβ (+) macrophage is distributed around pancreatic cancer cells at the invasive front.
