摘要: Cancer Diagnostics is concerned with diagnostic tests for the detection and evaluation of human tumors. A cancer cell result malignant transformation a normal (1). cells are associated significant growth dysregulation. The identification universal tumor-specific epitope or marker has remained elusive. In past, many types tumor markers have been characterized serological serum included enzymes, proteins, hormones, mucin, blood group substances Many current useful primarily prediction prognosis monitoring therapy previously diagnosed cancers. However, research efforts directed to finding laboratory that may be screening early One organ-specific prostate specific antigen (PSA) test which helping clinician in decision proceed prostatic biopsy diagnosis vs hyperplasia (2).
