Abstract
A method of analyzing diagnostic information, the method including: measuring the concentration of all mucin-1s (total MUC1) in a blood sample originated from a subject to be diagnosed; comparing the measured value with a threshold value; and estimating that a disease affecting the subject to be diagnosed is not prostate cancer but a benign prostate disease when the measured value of the concentration of total MUC1 is greater than the threshold value.
