Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/042148
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
Provided is a new cancer marker for testing the morbidity risk of cancer. The cancer marker of this invention is a prorenin receptor. The method for testing the morbidity risk of cancer of this invention is a method which measures the expression of prorenin receptors in a biological sample of a subject, and further includes, for example, a step in which the morbidity risk of cancer of the subject is tested by comparing the level of expression of prorenin receptors in the biological sample of the subject with a reference value. The reference value is the level of expression of prorenin receptors in the biological sample of healthy subjects or the level of expression of prorenin receptors in the biological samples of cancer patients. If the level of expression in the subject is higher than the level of expression in a healthy subject, is the same as the level of expression in the cancer patient, or is higher than the level of expression in the cancer patient, the subject is deemed to have a risk of dying from cancer.
