Abstract
The present invention provides a novel method for detecting mammary cancer cells which uses, as an index, an expression level of a specific gene in human mammary cancer tissue (or cells). The method is characterized by including (1) measuring an expression level of a gene having a specific nucleotide sequence in human mammary cancer tissue (or cells), (2) measuring an expression level of the gene in human normal mammary gland tissue (or cells), and (3) detecting mammary cancer cells on the basis of the difference between measurement values obtained in (1) and (2).
