1. A method for detecting the presence of an ovarian cancer in a patient, comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a biological sample from the patient; (b) contacting the biological sample with an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, that binds to a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 215; (c) detecting in the sample an amount of said polypeptide that binds to said antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof; and (d) comparing the amount of said polypeptide to a predetermined cut-off value and therefrom determining the presence of a cancer in the patient, wherein the detection of an amount of said polypeptide that is higher than the cut-off value is considered positive for the presence of ovarian cancer.
