Its use for the process and survival prediction of in vitro diagnostic bronchial lung cancer by the detection of the major alternative transcript of KLK8 gene encoding the kallikrein 8

摘要

A method for the in vitro diagnosis of bronchopulmonary carcinoma, in particular of non-small cell bronchial carcinoma, that includes a stage of detecting, in a biological sample derived from a patient suspected to be suffering from bronchopulmonary carcinoma, at least one of the major alternative transcripts of the KLK8 gene encoding kallikrein 8. This method is particularly useful for the survival prognostication of patients suffering from bronchopulmonary carcinoma.
