ABSTRACT:
Provided is a method for the diagnosis of a cancerous or pre-cancerous state in a subject, comprising testing a sample comprising cells or an extract therefrom for the co-elevation of CDK1 and CDK4. Also provided is a kit for the diagnosis of a cancerous or pre-cancerous state in a subject, comprising: (i) a means for testing for the elevation of CDK1; and (ii) a means for testing for the elevation of CDK4.
