Abstract:
A method of evaluating a probability a subject has a cancer, diagnosing a cancer and/or monitoring cancer progression comprising: a. measuring an amount of a biomarker selected from the group consisting of CUZD1 and/or LAMC2 and/or the group CUZD1, LAMC2, AQP8,, CELA2B, CELA3B,, CTRB1, CTRB2, GCG, IAPP, INS, KLK1, PNLIPRP1, PNLIPRP2, PPY, PRSS3, REG3G, SLC30A8, KLK3, NPY, PSCA, RLN1, SLC45A3, DSP, GP73, DSG2, CEACAM7, CLCA1, GPA33, LEFTY1, ZG16, IRX5, LAMP3, MFAP4, SCGB1A1, SFTPC, TMEM100, NPY, PSCA, RLN1 and/or SLC45A3 in a test sample from a subject with cancer; wherein the cancer is pancreas cancer if CUZD1, LAMC2, AQP8, CELA2B, CELA3B, CTRB1, CTRB2, GCG, IAPP, INS, KLK1, PNLIPRP1, PNLIPRP2, PPY, PRSS3, REG3G, SLC30A8, DSP, GP73 and/or DSG2 is selected; the cancer is colon cancer if CEACAM7, CLCA1, GPA33, LEFTY1 and/or ZG16 is selected, the cancer is lung cancer if IRX5, LAMP3, MFAP4, SCGB1A1, SFTPC and/or TMEM100 is selected; or the cancer is prostate cancer if NPY, PSCA, RLN1 and/or SLC45A3 is selected; b. comparing the measured amount to a control and detecting an increase in the amount of the biomarker compared to control; and c. identifying the subject as having or having an increased probability of having the cancer when an increase in the biomarker compared to control is detected.
Abstract:
The disclosure includes a method of screening for, diagnosing or detecting pancreatic cancer in a subject, the method comprising: a. determining a level of one or more biomarkers in a sample from the subject, wherein the biomarker(s) is/are selected from the proteins listed in any one of Tables 1 to 4, 7-13, and b. comparing the level of each biomarker in the sample with a control; wherein an increased level of any one of the biomarkers compared to the control is indicative that the subject has pancreatic cancer.
