| 20100311081 | PREDICTING CANCER PROGRESSION - A method of predicting the likelihood of cancer relapse in a patient undergoing treatment for cancer is provided. The binding response level of an immunoreactive material (IM) comprising thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) protein is determined in a body fluid sample of a patient and the likelihood of relapse of the cancer disease is predicted based on this determined IM binding response level. Those patients that run a risk of cancer progress and relapse 1-15 years after the cancer treatment may be identified directly by the IM binding response level within a few months following initiation of the treatment. | 12-09-2010 |
