Embodiment Construction
[0119] The following examples merely illustrate particularly preferred methods and selected aspects connected thereto. The teachings provided therein can be used to construct several tests and / or kits. The following examples are to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0120] The present invention relates to a method that can identify individuals, especially smokers, who have abnormal / pre-malignant changes in the airway epithelium and / or are at increased risk of developing lung cancer. Measurement of signal transduction pathway activity can identify aberrant signal transduction pathway activity indicative of abnormal airway epithelium, as well as an increased likelihood of pre-malignant changes. According to the present invention, the activity of two or more pathways is determined and converted into an airway abnormality factor, hereinafter also referred to as the (Small / Large) Airway Pathway Abnormality Score, (S / L)APAS, which identifies Individuals with ab...
