Method for the diagnosis of cancers by measuring the changes of glycosylation of proteins related to tumorigenesis and metastasis and kit for diagnosis of cancers using the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring proteins associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis, and more particularly provides a method for diagnosing cancers by measuring the changes of glycosylation of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), and a kit for diagnosis of cancers using the said method. The method and kit of the present invention can effectively be used for the sensitive diagnosis of cancers comprising colon cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer.
