Abstract

A method of supporting a diagnosis of a risk of cancer recurrence is disclosed. The method provides a new determining value a recurrence risk score (RRS) which is calculated based on expression levels and activity values of two cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs). The risk of cancer recurrence is judged by comparing the RRS with a predetermined threshold level for RRS.
