Method of detecting lung cancer
A biomarker panel and method for a urine test for detecting lung cancer detects a biomarker selected from the group of biomarkers consisting of DMA, C5:1, C10:1, ADMA, C5-OH, SDMA, and kynurenine, or a combination thereof.
1 . A method for processing a human clinical urine sample, the method comprising obtaining a urine sample from a subject clinically assessed as having or suspected of having lung cancer, and quantifying a panel of metabolites in said urine sample, the panel comprising at least one urinary metabolite selected from C5:1, C10:1, ADMA, C5-OH, and SDMA.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises at least two of said urinary metabolites.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises at least three of said urinary metabolites.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one urinary metabolite comprises C5:1.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one urinary metabolite comprises C10:1.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one urinary metabolite comprises ADMA.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one urinary metabolite comprises C5-OH.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one urinary metabolite comprises SDMA.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the panel of metabolites further comprises at least one further urinary metabolite selected from DMA and kynurenine.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one further urinary metabolite comprises DMA.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one further urinary metabolite comprises kynurenine.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the panel of metabolites further comprises at least one further urinary metabolite selected from spermidine, ornithine, arginine, and methionine.
