The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for cancer therapy, particularly cancers resulting from a defective Wnt/&bgr;-catenin signaling pathway. In specific embodiments, a T-cell factor (Tcf)-responsive promoter regulating expression of a therapeutic gene is administered to an individual having the cancer. In a specific embodiment, the Tcf-responsive promoter comprises a minimal CMV promoter and is present on an adenovirus vector. The promoter regulates expression of a therapeutic gene.
