  • Patent number: 10067124
    Abstract: To provide a more convenient and more accurate method of assaying ProGRP by improving the stability of ProGRP which is known to be unstable in a biological sample. By using a blood sample in a condition in which a blood coagulation factor is not activated is used as a sample, the degradation of ProGRP is suppressed, whereby it is possible to store a sample for a long period of time and to improve the accuracy of an assay.

  • Publication number: 20140271621
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of diagnosing pancreatic cancer in a patient by detecting the presence and/or amount of at least three biomarkers of pancreatic cancer in a sample from the patient. The methods and biomarkers may be used to develop an accurate prognosis for a patient having cancer or suspected of having pancreatic cancer, or to accurately diagnose a patient having, or suspected of having pancreatic cancer. The methods and biomarkers may be used to identify and/or classify a patient as a candidate for a cancer therapy.

  • Publication number: 20140271453
    Abstract: Provided are methods of diagnosing lung cancer, particularly at an early stage, such as stage I, by detecting the presence and/or amount of at least four biomarkers of lung cancer in a sample from a subject as well as determining the number of smoking pack years for the subject. The methods and biomarkers may be used to develop an accurate prognosis for a patient having lung cancer or suspected of having lung cancer or accurately diagnose a subject having or suspected of having lung cancer.
