Abstract

Plasma free amino acid (PFAA) levels are known to change in patients with malignant diseases. We have developed AminoIndexTM Cancer Screening (AICSTM) using “AminoIndex Technology”, which is a multivariate analysis of PFAA concentrations in various cancer patients and healthy controls. In Japan, AICSTM is now commercially available for simultaneous screening of seven cancer types, including lung cancer. The lung cancer specific AICS [AICS (lung)] are classified as rank A (AICS values: 0.0–4.9), rank B (5.0–7.9), or rank C (8.0–10.0); the closer to rank C, the higher risk of lung cancer.
