  • Proteomic approaches in biomarker discovery [Elektronski vir] : new perspectives in cancer diagnostics
    Hudler, Petra, 1976- ; Kočevar Britovšek, Nina, 1984- ; Komel, Radovan
    Despite remarkable progress in proteomic methods, including improved detection limits and sensitivity, these methods have not yet been established in routine clinical practice. The main limitations, ... which prevent their integration into clinics are high cost of equipment, the need for highly-trained personnel, and last, but not least, the establishment of reliable and accurate protein biomarkers or panels of protein biomarkers for detection of neoplasms. Furthermore, the complexity and heterogeneity of most solid tumours present obstacles in the discovery of specific protein signatures, which could be used for early detection of cancers, for prediction of disease outcome, and for determining the response to specific therapies. However, cancer proteome, as the end-point of pathological processes that underlie cancer development and progression, could represent an important source for the discovery of new biomarkers and molecular targets for tailored therapies
