Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the diagnosis and/or the follow up of the evolution of cancer, which includes the analysis and quantification of over expressed and amplified genes in the plasma/serum of cancer patients or persons suspected to harbor cancer. This is achieved by analyzing together the amount of DNA and RNA of certain genes in the plasma/serum of cancer patients that are the reflection of a gene amplification and/or a gene over expression in comparison to healthy controls.
