Disclosed is a method aiding in the assessment of cancer. More specifically disclosed is the use of the arginine-rich metastasized in early tumors protein (=ARMET) as a universal marker of different cancer types. ARMET aids in the assessment of pulmonary or lung cancer (LC) or of colon cancer, e.g., of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) or colorectal cancer (CRC), but also likely of other specific types of cancer. Such specific cancer types are, e.g., breast, ovary, cervix, head and neck, endometrium, melanoma, bladder, kidney, pancreas, prostate, esophagus, stomach or bile duct cancer. Further disclosed is a method for assessing cancer from a liquid sample, derived from an individual by measuring ARMET in the sample. Measurement of ARMET can, e.g., be used in the early detection of cancer or in the surveillance of patients who undergo surgery.

A duct stent being capable of carrying the subminiature radioactive particle source is mainly used for the inside radiation therapy of metaphase or terminal pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancer, and has drainage function. The duct stent consists of a tubular drainage tube (1) and fixation portions (2) which are face to face with two ends of the drainage tube (1) and can fix the stent to prevent the stent from moving. The lumen of the drainage tube (1) is a drainage cavity (1.1) for draining the pancreatic juice or the bile. A particle passage (1.2) is provided in the tube wall of the drainage tube (1). The inside diameter of the particle passage (1.2) matches with the outer diameter of the subminiature radioactive particle source.

The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis of bile duct cancer, using methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MRS) in bile duct cells and, more particularly, to a composition for diagnosing bile ductcancer, comprising an agent with which an expression level of methionyl-tRNA synthetase protein is measured, a diagnostic kit, and a method for qualitative or quantitative analysis of MRS to provide information necessary for the diagnosis of bile duct cancer. According to the present invention, MRS retains a very high value as a diagnostic marker for bile duct cancer in terms of rapidity and accuracy because MRS allows determination to be made to see whether bile duct cancer is present or absent for bile duct cells, which have been classified as atypical cells by conventional pathological examination methods. Hence, the present invention provides a method for discriminating between cancer cells and normal cells in atypical cells and can make a definite diagnosis of cancer with almost 100 %in all of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in contrast to many conventional cancer markers with which an actual result of diagnosis is substantially difficult to obtain at a cell level (that is, cytodiagnosis).

The present invention relates to a method aiding in the assessment of cancer. It discloses the use of the human fibroblast activation protein (FAP / seprase) as a universal marker of different cancer types. Seprase aids in the assessment of pulmonary or lung cancer (LC) or of colon cancer, e.g., of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) or colorectal cancer (CRC), but also likely of other specific types of cancer. Such specific cancer types are, e.g., esophagus, head and neck cancer, stomach cancer, bile duct cancer, pancreas cancer, kidney cancer, cervix cancer, ovary cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, endometrium cancer or prostate cancer. Furthermore, it especially relates to a method for assessing cancer from a liquid sample, derived from an individual by measuring seprase in said sample. Measurement of seprase can, e.g., be used in the early detection of cancer or in the surveillance of patients who undergo surgery.
