Abstract:
The present invention relates to the assessment of lung cancer. It discloses the use of protein AP endonuclease (APEX) in the assessment of lung cancer. It also relates to a method for assessing lung cancer in vitro using a liquid sample derived from an individual by measuring APEX in the sample. Measurement of APEX can, e.g., be used in the early detection or in the follow-up of patients with lung cancer.
