Abstract
The invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting cancer using the measurement of acute-phase proteins (APPs) and the measurement of thymidine kinase activity level in body fluids. An index is calculated based on the measured data and compared with a pre-established reference that allows a practitioner to determine a high probability that a patient is a carrier of cancer.
