Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of determining whether a subject has cancer. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method of determining whether a subject has cancer when a pathological assessment of cell morphology is negative for the cancer. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method of determining whether a morphologically normal cell is malignant. Identification of malignant cells, when a pathological assessment of cell morphology is negative for cancer, is based upon detecting the binding of an anti-telomerase antibody to clinically relevant cells.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods for resolving an inconclusive cytological assessment of clinically relevant cells in a sample obtained from a patient based on the cytological detection of an antibody binding to a diagnostic protein in the clinically relevant cells in the sample.
