The nuclear matrix composition on human cells has been proven to be cell type and tumor specific. It has been clearly demonstrated that the nuclear matrix composition in a tumor is different from its normal counterparts.

These markers have been found in urine and blood and could potentially be used in early detection and prognosis of human cancers.
