Abstract: The present invention relates to the diagnostic of cancerous subject. Indeed, the inventors observed by using a Q-PCR based methods and sequencing methods that quantification of specific single stranded DNA fragments obtained from cell free nucleic acids (cfDNA) may discriminate cfDNA from healthy and cancer derived subjects. Single stranded DNA fragments obtained from CfDNA or specific range of single stranded DNA fragments are rather lower or higher when derived from healthy subject than from cancer subject. More, specific ratios for different size or range of single stranded DNA fragments varies between cancer subjects and healthy individuals. These values are sufficiently and significantly different to be used as values to determine whether a human subject may have cancer or not as a screening test.
