[0002] Invention field
[0003] The present invention relates to the field of biology, and more specifically to the field of cancer research. Specifically, the present invention relates to a diagnostic method for non-small cell lung cancer, and genes whose expression is increased or decreased in such cancerous cells. Background technique
[0004] Lung cancer is one of the most common fatal tumors in humans. Many genetic changes related to the occurrence and development of lung cancer have been reported. Although genetic changes can help prognosis and predict the risk of metastasis or response to some treatments, information about a single or a limited number of molecular markers usually does not provide satisfactory results for the clinical diagnosis of non-small cell lung can...
