DETECTION OF OESOPHAGEAL CANCER

摘要

A method for detecting the presence of or the risk of cancer in a patient comprising the step of: (i) detecting the expression level of a gene characterised by the polynucleotide sequence identified herein as SEQ ID NO. 1 or SEQ ID NO. 2, or a similar polynucleotide of at least 15 consecutive nucleotides that hybridises the complement of SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO: 2 under stringent hybridising conditions, in a genetic sample isolated from a patient, wherein the expression level of the gene characterised by SEQ ID No. 1 or SEQ ID No.2 or a similar polynucleotide indicates the presence of or the risk of cancer in the patient from whom the genetic sample was isolated.
