Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cancer is one of the most serious diseases which has a notably poor prognosis, and its incidence is annually increasing in Japan and worldwide. The number of patients responding well to current standard cancer therapies is still small, and no diagnostic marker has been sufficiently useful in the detection of curative stage cancers. In this study, we identified various cancer-related molecules, which are being applied as new diagnostic biomarkers. These biomarkers could be useful for early cancer detection, monitoring, and for the choice of therapies, as well as being a suitable therapeutic target.
