Abstract

Presented herein are biomarkers related to lung cancer. The presently identified salivary biomarkers create the basis for a lung cancer detection bioassay with sensitivity and specificity. Means and methods for evaluating the data generated using multiple biomarkers in order to validate findings and further use of the multiplexed lung cancer assay in clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic uses is also included.
