METHIONINE AMINOPEPTIDASE OVEREXPRESSION IN THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD AND PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS IS A MARKER FOR COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING, DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS

摘要

A method of screening/prognosis/diagnosis for colorectal cancer (CRC) wherein methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2) levels are detected in a non-tumor sample such as peripheral blood, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) or lymphocytes. Based on the MetAP2 levels, the individual may be selected for further testing.
