PROTEIN MARKER FOR BREAST-CANCER MONITORING, DIAGNOSIS AND SCREENING, AND A BREAST-CANCER MONITORING, DIAGNOSIS AND SCREENING METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a protein marker for breast-cancer monitoring, diagnosis and screening, and a breast-cancer monitoring, diagnosis and screening method using the same. More specifically, it relates to a method for the monitoring, diagnosis and screening of breast-cancer through the use of a protein marker whose expression is either increased or decreased specifically for breast-cancer patients. The method for the monitoring, diagnosis and screening of breast-cancer using a protein marker according to the present invention can make a contribution to improving survival rates in breast-cancer patients and reducing national losses due to cancer treatment by making rapid treatment possible. This is achieved by enabling diagnosis and screening, and assessment of the extent of progression of breast-cancer, at an early stage in the breast cancer, by finding differences in the levels of marker protein expression in healthy individuals and breast-cancer patients.
