Abstract
Non-invasive methods of detecting and providing an early diagnosis of cancer, in particular breast cancer are provided herein. The methods include obtaining a sample, suitably an ocular wash sample, from a subject and determining the level of α-Defensin 1, α-Defensin 2 and/or α-Defensin 3 in the sample. Increased levels of any of these proteins as compared to a negative control or non-cancerous subject are indicative of cancer in the subject from which the sample was obtained.
