Uso de DPPIV/Seprasa como un marcador para el cáncer

摘要

The present invention relates to a method aiding in the assessment of cancer. It discloses the use of "soluble DPPIV/Seprase protein complex" (= DPPIV/Seprase) as a universal marker of different cancer types. Measurement of DPPIV/Seprase can, e.g., be used in the early detection or diagnosis of cancer or in the surveillance of patients who undergo surgery.
