A method for the early diagnosis of breast, lung, pancreatic and colon growths and cancers as well as conditions associated with donor and recipient organ transplants, both before and after transplantation to identify and allow treatment of possible transplanted organ rejection and other disease conditions related and unrelated to the transplantation, compares the gene expression patterns from a patient's peripheral blood monocytes-lymphocyte's gene system with either the similar gene expression patterns of a normal person, or with the similar gene expression patterns of a person known to have the condition being screened for. Differences between the patient's gene expression patterns for particular genes and the normal patterns indicates the presence of the condition with the number of differences indicating the probability of the condition. Similarities between the patient's gene expression patterns for those particular genes and the patterns of a person known to have the condition indicates the presence of the condition with the number of similarities indicating the probability of the condition. Portions of the method may be performed with the use of a microfluidic machine.
