This invention relates to the staging, diagnosis and treatment of cancerous diseases (both primary tumors and tumor metastases), particularly to the mediation of cytotoxicity of tumor cells; and most particularly to the use of cancerous disease modifying antibodies (CDMAB), optionally in combination with one or more CDMAB/chemotherapeutic agents, as a means for initiating the cytotoxic response. The invention further relates to binding assays, which utilize the CDMAB of the instant invention. The anti-cancer antibodies can be conjugated to toxins, enzymes, radioactive compounds, cytokines, interferons, target or reporter moieties and hematogenous cells. 158-. (canceled)59. A method of treating human breast , pancreatic , ovarian , prostate or colon cancer in a patient , comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutically effective amount of a humanized antibody that specifically binds the same epitope or epitopes of human CD44 as an isolated monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma cell line H460-16-2 having ATCC Accession No. PTA-4621 , comprising:a heavy chain variable region comprising the complementarity determining region amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, and SEQ ID NO:3; and a light chain variable region comprising the complementarity determining region amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:5, and SEQ ID NO:6;or a human CD44 binding fragment thereof.60. A method of treating human breast , pancreatic , ovarian , prostate or colon cancer in a patient , comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutically effective amount of a humanized antibody that specifically binds the same epitope or epitopes of human CD44 as an isolated monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma cell line H460-16-2 having ATCC Accession No. PTA-4621 , comprising:a heavy chain variable region comprising the complementarity determining region amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, and SEQ ID NO:3; and a light chain variable region ...
