METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR LUNG CANCER DIAGNOSIS

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and systems for high risk screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and surveillance of lung cancer. Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention provides a method for diagnosing or evaluating whether a subject has, or is at risk of having, lung cancer such as NSCLS. The method comprises obtaining a first expression level of the AKAP4 gene of a population of cells from the blood of a test subject; and comparing the first expression level with a first predetermined reference value. A difference between the first expression level and first predetermined reference value correlates with a diagnosis or evaluation of a lung cancer.
