Measurement of nicotinamde N-methyl transferase in diagnosis of lung cancer

摘要

The present invention relates to the assessment of lung cancer. It discloses the use of protein NNMT in the assessment of lung cancer. It also relates to a method for assessing lung cancer by measuring NNMT in vitro in a liquid sample derived from an individual. Measurement of NNMT can, e.g., be used in the early detection or in the follow-up of patients with lung cancer.
