METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR DETECTION, DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF OVARIAN CANCER

摘要

The subject invention concerns methods using a panel of proteins to detect, diagnose, and monitor therapy during treatment of ovarian cancer in a female patient. The proteins were identified using proteomics analyses of plasma samples obtained preoperatively from ovarian cancer patients versus those of healthy control women. Such a panel has utility for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, screening for ovarian cancer and possibly therapeutic monitoring.

主权项

1. A method for detecting, diagnosing, and/or monitoring therapy for ovarian cancer in a subject, said method comprising analyzing a biological sample from the subject for the presence or absence, or the amount or concentration, of one or more proteins whose expression is associated with ovarian cancer, whereby ovarian cancer can be detected, diagnosed, and/or monitored.
