Applications of proteomics in biomarker research for colorectal cancer / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Proteomics is an emerging branch of bioscience which studies proteome. The main techniques in proteomics include sample preparation in proteomic, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis, multidimensional protein identification technology, surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. During the last several years, many advances have been achieved in terms of applications of proteomics in biomarker research for colorectal cancer.
