METHOD FOR EVALUATING DEGREE OF CANCERIZATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the degree of cancerization of a mammal-derived sample, the evaluation method involving: (1) a first step of measuring the methylation frequency of the FMS-related tyrosine kinase 1 gene contained in the mammal-derived sample, or an index value correlated with said methylation frequency; and (2) a second step of determining the degree of cancerization of the sample on the basis of the difference found by comparing, with a control, the methylation frequency or the index value correlated therewith that has been measured.
