HUMAN LEUCINE-RICH A-2-GLYCOPROTEIN-1 AND AMINOPEPTIDASE N AS RISK INDICATORS FOR CANCER

摘要

Diagnostic tests for characterizing a test subject's risk of developing or having cancer, based on determining the level of LRG1 and/or CD13 in a bodily sample obtained from a test subject are described. Levels of LRG1 and/or CD13 are then compared to a predetermined value that is derived from measurements of the levels of LRG1 and/or CD13 in comparable bodily samples obtained from control subjects. Such comparison characterizes the test subject's risk of developing or having cancer.
