PURPOSE:To enable earlier discovery of cancer accurately, by combining analysis values obtained by quantitative analyses on cancer specific tumor marker, on a tumor marker attributed to a living body and on tumor-related antigen. CONSTITUTION:A cancer specific tumor marker is a protein intrinsic to cancerous cells produced from the cancerous cells when changed from normal cells. For this marker, for example, heat resistant alkali phosphatase, cancerous embryo antigen, ferritin and the like are selected. On the other hand, for tumor marker attributed to living bodies, sialate, IAP, ferritin and the like are selected. These undergoes a quantitative analysis by electrophoresis, colorimetry and the like; moreover, the tumor-related antigen does. The analysis values obtained are combined and compared with a preset reference value to judge on the presence of cancerous cells. Thus, initial diagnosis of cancer can be achieved.
