Abstract
According to the present invention, processes for detecting the presence of neoplastic disease are provided. The processes involve the detection of a product associated with expression of genes that encode protein receptors for fibroblast growth factor in cells or a product present in a body fluid. Detection can be carried out in a variety of ways, such as by hybridization to detect the presence of mRNA or immunological assays to detect the presence of receptor protein.
