摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable method for assisting diagnosis of recurrence risk of colon cancer regarding various cases of colon cancer.SOLUTION: A method for assisting diagnosis of recurrence risk of colon cancer includes: a measuring process of severally measuring an expression amount of a plurality of genes selected from a first gene group which exists in a region from 18q21 to 18q23 on a long chain of an 18-th chromosome, a plurality of genes selected from a second gene group which exists in a region from 20q11 to 20q13 on a long chain of a 20-th chromosome, and a plurality of genes selected from a third gene group including ANGPTL2, AXL, C1R, C1S, CALHM2, CTSK, DCN, EMP3, GREM1, ITGAV, KLHL5, MMP2, RAB34, SELM, SRGAP2 P1 and VIM, in a biological sample collected from a colon cancer patient; and a process of determining recurrence risk of colon cancer in the patient based on the expression amounts measured in the measuring process.SELECTED DRAWING: None
