Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed are a method and kit of diagnosis of cancer in a body sample of a subject, comprising contacting the sample with at least two different suitable antigens to form at least two different complexes with antibodies present in the sample, determining the actual levels of each of said antigen-antibody complexes in said sample and establishing the ratio between the levels of the different complexes in said subject; and comparing the ratio to a predetermined ratio between antigen-antibody complexes levels formed between the same at least two antigens and samples from healthy subjects, whereby if said ratio determined in step higher or lower than a predetermined cutoff point pre-established for healthy subjects, said subject is diagnosed with cancer. The method and kit can be used for diagnosing various types of cancer, including breast, ovary, lung, prostate and colon cancer.
