What Are Some Applications of Proteomics in Cancer?
Proteomics has several applications in cancer research and clinical practice:
Biomarker Discovery: Identifying biomarkers for early cancer detection, prognosis, and monitoring treatment response. Therapeutic Target Identification: Discovering proteins that play critical roles in cancer progression and could be targeted by new therapies. Understanding Drug Resistance: Studying the protein changes associated with resistance to chemotherapy and targeted therapies to develop strategies to overcome resistance. Personalized Medicine: Using proteomic profiles to tailor treatments to individual patients based on the specific protein alterations in their tumors.
