Abstract:
Since Bence-Jones protein was discovered and used in multiple myeloma, many tumor markers have been used in diagnosis and treatment monitoring of various cancers. However the lack of specificity and sensitivity of most tumor markers is always limiting their application in research and clinical diagnosis currently. It is predicted that the future development of tumor marker research may mainly focus on the innovation of research strategies, such as combined detection of a set of related tumors marker and comprehensive interpretation of testing results.
