Abstract:
1. A method for diagnosis of lung cancer in a subject comprising: (a) quantitatively detecting levels of Annexin I and Annexin II proteins in a biological sample derived from a subject; (b) detecting levels of Annexin I and Annexin II proteins in a control sample; and (c) diagnosing the subject with lung cancer by comparing the levels of Annexin I and Annexin II proteins detected in the subject's sample to the levels of Annexin I and Annexin II proteins detected in the control sample, and identifying an increase in the levels of one or both of the Annexin I and Annexin II proteins in the subject's sample, wherein an increase in the level of one or both of the Annexin I and Annexin II proteins detected in the subject's sample as compared to a control sample is an indicator of a subject with lung cancer.
