METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING RCC AND OTHER SOLID TUMORS

摘要

Methods, systems and equipment for diagnosing renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and other solid tumors. This invention identifies numerous disease genes that ar e differentially expressed in the peripheral blood of patients having RCC or other solid tumors relative to disease-free humans. These disease genes can be used as surrogate markers for detecting the presence or absence of RCC or other solid tumors.
