The Application of SELDI-TOF-MS in Clinical Diagnosis of Cancers

Abstract EN

Cancer diagnosis is important, and the early diagnosis of cancers could predict a more successful treatment.

The proteomic studies emerged to be useful in combined analyses of samples from patients and provide more accurate diagnosis when compared to the single-factor-based diagnosis.

In recent years, cancer detection with surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) is flourishing and brought significant progress in this area.

This paper summarizes some recent results with this technique for cancer diagnosis.
