Disclosed herein are methods for assessing risk of metastasis of a tumor in a mammal by determining the paxillin gene copy number per cell in the tumor or by detecting the presence of a paxillin mutation in the tumor. The presence of an increased paxillin gene copy number or a paxillin mutation is indicative of an increased risk of metastasis. Methods of staging tumors and methods of reducing invasiveness or metastasis of a cancer cell are also provided. Oligonucleotides comprising a paxillin mutation and antibodies capable of recognizing a paxillin mutant are disclosed.
