摘要

A method for diagnosing an increased risk of a cancer in a subject includes the steps of obtaining a blood sample from the subject and determining, in the blood sample, a level of two or more of the polypeptides selected from the group consisting of VNN2, KCNJ15, SERPINB2, CREB5, ICAM3, NFE2, MNDA, PXN, FCAR, TSHZ3, NRG1, ALOX5AP, PAD14, PAD12, QPC, VNN1, SERPINB10, CLEC4D, TREM1, CLEC4E, CD82, MGAM, TMEM45B and VNN3, wherein an increase in the level of two or more of the polypeptides compared to a control level is indicative of an increased risk of cancer in the subject.
