Patent ID: 8288110

Claim:
A method for detecting likelihood of ovarian cancer in a female subject, the method comprising: detecting one or both of the presence and amount of one or more biomarkers in a biological sample from the subject, wherein at least one of the biomarkers is a peptide selected from SEQ ID NOs: 1-6, 8-13, 15, 20, and 22; and classifying the subject as likely to have ovarian cancer if (a) the amount of the peptide selected from SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 is decreased in the biological sample as compared to a non-ovarian cancer reference amount of the biomarker; or (b) the amount of the peptide selected from SEQ ID NOs: 3, 5, 6, 13, 15, 20, and 22 is increased in biological sample as compared to a non-ovarian cancer reference amount of the biomarker.
