Abstract
It is intended to provide a rapid, convenient, and highly accurate method for determining the prognosis of cancer. The present invention provides a method for determining the prognosis of a renal cell carcinoma patient, comprising: (1) treating genomic DNA prepared from a renal tissue of a subject with bisulfite; (2) amplifying the bisulfite-treated DNA by PCR; (3) subjecting the obtained PCR amplification product to ion exchange chromatography; (4) obtaining the retention time of a detection signal obtained by the chromatography; and (5) determining the renal cell carcinoma of the subject as having poor prognosis when the result of the step (4) is shorter than a retention time serving as a reference.
