Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing the lung cancers such as non small lung cancer in a subject by using isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 as a diagnostic biomarker. The present invention also relates to a method for predicting the prognosis of the lung cancers such as non small lung cancer in a subject by using isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 as a prognostic biomarker. The present invention further relates to a method to suppress proliferation of lung tumor cells in a subject, decrease growth of lung tumor cells in a subject, or improve survival of a subject with lung cancer by using isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 as a therapeutic target.
