Title:
SPECIFIC MARKERS FOR PANCREATIC CANCER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004055519
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides polypeptides which are up- or down-regulated in pancreatic cancer and which can be used as markers for diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The invention also provides an in vitro method for the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and/or the susceptibility to pancreatic cancer comprising the steps of a) obtaining a biological sample; and b) detecting and/or measuring the increase of one or more polypeptides as disclosed herein. Furthermore, screening methods relating to inhibitors and antagonists of the specific polypeptides disclosed herein are provided.
