1. A method for the determination of the presence of a malignant or premalignant condition in human tissue or for the determination of risk for development of a malignant or premalignant condition in human tissue, said method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) isolating RNA from tissue that is to be determined;

    (b) preparing a probe using RNA from step (a);

    (c) hybridizing to the probe of step (b) a plurality of cloned gene sequences which are unrestricted as to function to form a plurality of hybridized probes;

    (d) exposing the hybridized probe to detecting means to quantify the extent of hybridization; and

    (e) comparing the extent of the hybridization obtained in step (d) with a known standard to determine the existence of malignant or premalignant tissue or the presence of risk for development of malignant or premalignant condition in human tissue.
