| 摘要 |
The current invention provides a method for determining the metastatic potential, capability, status, or characteristics of a primary tumor from a human cancer patient by determining expression patterns of proteins that initiate, cause, promote, mediate, inflict, or otherwise aid metastatic properties of cells from a primary tumor. The identification of one or more proteins associated with metastasis in a single primary tumor can determine whether a primary tumor is metastatic or has the potential to become metastatic. |
