Serum proteome profiling of primary breast cancer indicates a biomarker profile

Fragestellung: Noninvasive biomarkers for early breast cancer detection are urgently needed, as the risk of recurrent morbidity and mortality is closely related to the stage of the disease at the time of primary surgery. Currently, there are no established clinical biomarkers for breast cancer. Evaluation of protein expression patterns in body fluids using proteomic technologies can be used to discover new biomarkers for the detection of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to identify a biomarker signature identifying primary non-metastatic breast cancer and healthy controls. Methode: We screened 91 serum s…
