METHOD OF DETERMINING LYMPH NODE METASTASIS IN A LUNG CANCER, APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING LYMPH NODE METASTASIS IN A LUNG CANCER, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

A method of determining a lymph node metastasis in a lung cancer, comprising: acquiring mRNA expression level of stratifin contained in a measurement sample prepared by using a lymph node tissue of a lung cancer patient who may have a lymph node metastasis; and determining that the lymph node tissue is a lymph node metastasis of the lung cancer when the acquired mRNA expression level of stratifin is overexpressed. An apparatus and a computer program product are also disclosed.
