ABSTRACT

Human health is seriously threatened by malignancies.Early diagnosis could effectively reduce tumor mortality and improve prognosis.It remains an urgent need and difficult to evaluate the clinical application and discover more efficient diagnostic markers.The rapid development of various technology platforms, in particular the next-generation sequencing technology and translational medicine , plays crucial roles in the progress of tumor markers at the level of protein , DNA and RNA.With the development of basic researches and advances in clinical validation , and based on the prospective multicenter study , the establishment of tumor diagnostic strategy on different groups will be possible.
