Proteomics
Proteomics is a promising field in the post-genomic era. Notwithstanding the great advances provided by gene expression process in cancer, the lack of a correlation between gene expression and protein levels has highlighted the need for a proteomic focus on cancer. Although the increasing knowledge regarding cancer biology is a reliable marker to improve diagnosis, prognosis and treatment for cancer patients is not a reality at present. In this review, we address the various considerations regarding proteomics-based studies and their clinical applications on cancer research, highlighting some considerations related to strengths and limitations of proteomics-based studies and its application to clinical practice.
