Today, determination of biomarkers in tumor tissues of cancer patients are employed to assess the course of the disease (prognosis) and response to cancer therapeutics. Thus, the protein expression of particular cancer biomarkers, proteases belonging to the family of kallikrein-related proteases as well as the protease urokinase and its inhibitor PAI-1, were quantified in tumor tissues of patients afflicted with cancer of the breast or ovary by enzymoimmunometric tests; the epigenetic status of these factors was determined too. For this, standard operating procedures (SOP) were established and the clinical relevance of these biomarkers described.
