Title:
METHOD FOR EVALUATION OF LUNG CANCER, LUNG CANCER EVALUATION APPARATUS, LUNG CANCER EVALUATION METHOD, LUNG CANCER EVALUATION SYSTEM, LUNG CANCER EVALUATION PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/016111
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are: a method for evaluation of lung cancer, which can evaluate the state of lung cancer with high precision by utilizing a blood amino acid level, particularly a blood amino acid level associated with the state of lung cancer; a lung cancer evaluation apparatus; a lung cancer evaluation method; a lung cancer evaluation system; a lung cancer evaluation program; and a recording medium. The method for evaluation of lung cancer comprises the steps of: obtaining an amino acid level data that relates to a value of an amino acid level from a blood collected from a subject to be evaluated; and evaluating the state of lung cancer in the subject based on a value of a blood level of at least one amino acid selected from Orn, Lys, ABA, Arg, Glu, His, Tau, Pro, Ala, Cit and Ile included in the amino acid level data.
