Non-invasive cancer detection: strategies for the identification of novel cancer markers

IUBMB Life. 2006 Apr;58(4):193-8. doi: 10.1080/15216540600719598.

Abstract

In the last few years powerful technologies have emerged and are being applied for biomarker discovery. The purpose of this article is to discuss and help focus the strategies applying these novel technologies for the identification of potential biomarkers for early detection of cancer.
