The present invention relates generally to an apparatus and methods for predicting disease and, more specifically, to an apparatus and methods for detecting and diagnosing cancer. One embodiment of the present invention may include generating mass spectra data from a sample taken from a subject and comparing the sample to a prediction model to assess whether or not the subject has a specific disease. Another embodiment of the present invention may include generating a first set of mass spectra data from samples taken from a population known to have a disease and generating a second set of mass spectra data from samples taken from a population known not to have the disease. The two sets of mass spectra data may then be compared to identify markers in the spectra data indicating the presence of the disease.
