Abstract
Provided are a method for diagnosing cancer, a diagnosis kit and compositions useful for measurement of NK cell activity. The incidence of cancer may be diagnosed by monitoring changes in the in vivo immune system through measurement of NK cell activity in blood. Thus, the incidence of cancer may be readily predicted as described herein using a blood sample from a subject.
