Methods of detecting cancers are provided. In certain embodiments, a blood test may utilized to identify the presence of a cancer such as, e.g., a melanoma or glioma (e.g., an astrocytoma, a glioblastoma multiforme) in a human patient. In particular, increased p-STAT3 expression by peripheral blood mononuclear cells is selectively associated with the presence of certain cancers. In various embodiments, fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) may be used to measure p-STAT3 expression in the peripheral blood of a human patient. |
