use of the protein crabp ii (cellular retinoic acid binding protein (ii) as a marker for breast cancer

摘要

The present invention relates to the diagnosis of breast cancer. It discloses the use of protein cellular retinoic acid-binding protein II in the diagnosis of breast cancer. It relates to a method for diagnosis of breast cancer from a liquid sample, derived from an individual by measuring cellular retinoic acid-binding protein II in said sample. Measurement of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein II can, e.g., be used in the early detection or diagnosis of breast cancer.
