METHOD FOR THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA.

摘要

The invention relates to novel methods for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (CHC) by means of the detection of the genic products (mRNA or protein) of prostaglandin reductase 1 (Ptgr1) in biological samples, and to novel methods for determining whether a patient with CHC is a candidate for treatment with antitumoral compounds bioactivated by the Ptgr1.
