USE OF DPPIV/SEPRASE AS A MARKER FOR CANCER

摘要

Described is a method aiding in the assessment of the presence of cancer. The method uses the soluble DPPIV/seprase protein complex (DPPIV/seprase) as a universal marker of different cancer types. Measurement of DPPIV/seprase complex can, e.g., be used in the early detection or diagnosis of cancer or in the surveillance of patients who undergo surgery.
