METHOD FOR DETERMINING LYMPH NODE METASTASIS IN CERVICAL CANCER AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for testing lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer which can determine the presence of lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer with higher accuracy, a device for determining lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer and a computer program.SOLUTION: The method for determining lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer includes acquiring information about mRNA expression level of at least one gene selected from the group consisting of SERPINB5, CK15, CK4, PI3 and ANXA8 contained in a measurement sample prepared from a lymph node tissue from a cervical cancer patient which may have cervical cancer metastasis and determining whether cervical cancer has spread to the lymph node tissue based on the information about mRNA expression level obtained.
