SERIAL ANALYSIS OF BIOMARKERS FOR DISEASE DIAGNOSIS

摘要

The present invention generally relates to serial analysis of biomarkers for disease diagnosis. In certain embodiments, the invention provides methods for diagnosing a disease including obtaining a sample from a subject, conducting a first assay to determine whether a first biomarker in the sample is positive or negative for a disease, and conducting a second assay to determine whether a second biomarker in the sample is positive or negative for the disease if the first assay produced a negative result.
