<p>It has been found that although both glycoforms of the cancer marker NCA 50/90 are expressed in normal tissue, only the 90 kDa glycoform is secreted into the bloodstream. An improved method is therefore provided for aiding in the diagnosis of, and monitoring the progression or course of cancer, particularly breast, colon, and lung cancer, and leukemia, in a patient by measuring the amount of NCA 90 specifically in a blood sample, e.g., serum sample, obtained from the patient.</p> |
