ABSTRACT:
A method comprising: providing a biological sample from a subject (subject sample); and detecting the expression level of each of the markers FGF-2 and CA125 in the subject sample. A kit comprising means for detection of an expression level of each of markers CA125 and FGF-2 in a biological sample from a subject (subject sample), and instructions to use said markers in a method of the present invention.
