USE OF ULTRACONSERVED RNA IN DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF CANCER

摘要

A method of analyzing a biological specimen to detect cancer in a subject, involving determining an ultraconserved RNA in the specimen and comparing the expression level to a control. The ultraconseved RNA may be uc.338 and may be used to detect hepatocellular cancer. Transcript RNA encoding ultraconserved RNA may also be used to detect cancer. Anti-cancer compositions and tumor-suppressing agents for treating cancer are also provided.
