摘要
The present invention describes a method for predicting a health-state indicative of the presence of ovarian cancer (OC). The method measures the intensities of specific small organic molecules, called metabolites, in a blood sample from a patient with an undetermined health-state, and compares these intensities to those observed in a population of healthy individuals and/or to the intensities previously observed in a population of confirmed ovarian cancer-positive individuals. Specifically, the present invention relates to the diagnosis of OC through the measurement of vitamin E isoforms and related metabolites. The method enables a practitioner to determine the probability that a screened patient is positive or at risk for ovarian cancer.
