This invention relates to the finding that centrosome amplification (CA) renders cancer cells more sensitive to certain anti-cancer compounds. The invention provides methods of treating cancer that displays centrosome amplification (CA) by administering a CA selective agent. Also provided are methods of screening for a CA selective agent comprising determining the effect of a test compound on the expression of a panel of CA associated genes in the cell and methods of determining the sensitivity of a cancer cell to a CA selective agent comprising determining the expression of a panel of CA associated genes in the cancer cell. Other aspects of the invention relate to measuring the expression of a panel of CA associated genes in order to assess a cancer condition in an individual or to assess genomic instability in a cancer cell.
