Embodiments of the invention provide a method of treating cancer, the method comprising providing a subject having cancer cells, and contacting the cancer cells with a therapeutically effective amount of a G2/M checkpoint inhibitor. Embodiments of the invention also provide a method of treating cancer in a subject, the method comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a sample of the cancer cells from the subject; (b) determining if at least a portion of the sample of the cancer cells is LKB1 deficient; and (c) contacting the cancer cells with a therapeutically effective amount of a G2/M checkpoint inhibitor. Embodiments of the invention also provide a method of treating cancer in a subject, the method comprising contacting the cancer cells with a therapeutically effective amount of a Wee1 inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of a second pharmaceutical composition. Embodiments of the invention also provide a method of prognosing or determining the severity of cancer in a subject comprising (a) determining the presence or absence of LKB1 in the cancer cells of the subject; and (b) prognosing the severity of cancer based on the presence of LKB1 deficiency in the cancer cells of the subject. 1. A method of treating adenocarcinoma in a subject , wherein the adenocarcinoma cells are LKB1 deficient , the method comprising the steps of contacting the LKB1 deficient adenocarcinoma cells with a therapeutically effective amount of a Wee1 kinase inhibitor.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adenocarcinoma is lung cancer.3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Wee1 kinase inhibitor is AZD1775.5. The method of and further comprising contacting the LKB1 deficient adenocarcinoma cells with a therapeutically effective amount of a second pharmaceutical composition.6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second pharmaceutical composition comprises at least one of the following: a DNA-damaging ...
