In vitro method for diagnosing and monitoring renal cell carcinoma (RCC) using MMP-7 as humoral biomarker for RCC

The present invention relates to the use of matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP-7) and/or its precursors and fragments with MMP-7 immunoreactivity, or of circulating anti-MMP-7 antibodies, as humoral biomarkers in diagnostic in vitro methods for the detection, early detection, monitoring and/or prognosi...
