What are the Applications of Proteomics in Cancer?
Proteomics has several applications in cancer, including:
- Biomarker Discovery: Identifying proteins that can serve as biomarkers for early detection, prognosis, and monitoring of cancer. - Therapeutic Target Identification: Discovering proteins that can be targeted by drugs to treat cancer. - Understanding Drug Resistance: Investigating the mechanisms by which cancer cells develop resistance to chemotherapy and other treatments. - Personalized Medicine: Tailoring treatment strategies based on the proteomic profile of a patient's tumor.
