PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new method for diagnosis for carrying out an early and specific diagnosis of various cancers. SOLUTION: This method comprises identification of 9 kinds of CSG (Cancer Specific Genes), where they specifically mean native proteins expressed by genes comprising either one of the specific polynucleotide sequences. In the other method, the 9 kinds of CSG mean a native mRNA encoded by the gene comprising either one of the specific polynucleotide sequences, or the gene itself comprising either one of the specific polynucleotide sequences. The fragments of the CSG specified by the specific sequence can be detected. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
