Validating serum markers for monitoring of cancer.
Most of the serum tumor markers available today were introduced decades ago and were applied to clinical use without rigorous evaluation of their clinical validity. Tumor markers are mainly used for monitoring the response to therapy and to facilitate earlier detection of a relapse. Many organizations have issued guidelines on the use of tumor markers, but most of the recommendations are not ba...
متن کاملPotential Markers for Detection and Monitoring of Ovarian Cancer
This paper reviews current screening techniques as well as novel biomarkers and their potential role in early detection of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is one of the most common reproductive cancers and has the highest mortality rate amongst gynecologic cancers. Because most ovarian cancer diagnoses occur in the late stages of the disease, five-year survival rates fall below 20%. To improve s...
متن کاملProteomics Analysis for Finding Serum Markers of Ovarian Cancer
A combination of peptide ligand library beads (PLLB) and 1D gel liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (1DGel-LC-MS/MS) was employed to analyze serum samples from patients with ovarian cancer and from healthy controls. Proteomic analysis identified 1200 serum proteins, among which 57 proteins were upregulated and 10 were downregulated in the sera from cancer patients. Retinol...
متن کاملSerum protein markers for early detection of ovarian cancer.
Early diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) would significantly decrease the morbidity and mortality from this disease but is difficult in the absence of physical symptoms. Here, we report a blood test, based on the simultaneous quantization of four analytes (leptin, prolactin, osteopontin, and insulin-like growth factor-II), that can discriminate between disease-free and EOC patients, i...
متن کاملSerum tumor markers in testicular cancer.
Testicular cancer has become a model for a curable neoplasm, where biochemical markers play a critical role. Serum tumor markers are integral in patient management and contributes to the diagnosis, staging, and risk assessment, as well as evaluation of response to therapy and detection of relapse. We review their biochemistry, biology, and clinical use in the setting of localized and metastatic...
