METHOD FOR JUDGING NATURE OF MALIGNANT TUMOR

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for judging a nature of malignant tumor, capable of judging the nature with good accuracy, based on a result of analysis of a molecule which is expressed in a tumor cell collected from a patient suffering from the malignant tumor. PSOLUTION: This method for judging the nature of the malignant tumor includes a first comparing process for comparing a first threshold value with a third parameter which is obtained based on a first parameter obtained from an activity value and an expression level of a first cyclin-dependent kinase (first CDK) of the tumor cell collected from the patient suffering from the malignant tumor and a second parameter obtained from an activity value and an expression level of a second cyclin-dependent kinase (second CDK), a second comparing process for comparing a second threshold value with the fourth parameter which is obtained from an expression level of a growth factor receptor of the tumor cell, and a process for judging the nature of the malignant tumor based on a result of the first comparison and a result of the second comparison.
