Abstract:
Malignant tumors are the most common lethal diseases in China.Because of complexity of etiology and pathogenesis , and the lack of specific markers for early diagnosis , delayed diagnosis and treatment of cancer , the fatality rate is high.With the development of basic research , more and more early specific markers were found , but the current detection mostly depend on the professional laboratories , time-consuming , high price and have a number of inconveniences to patients on time and money.Meanwhile , it′s difficult to extend to zoon of medicine resources deficient.Recently, point-of-care testing (POCT) has been rapidly developed , because of its portability , getting results quickly , can be operated in basic medical units and economic backward areas , so it′s benefit to cancer screening in human.By the application in tumor markers, POCT can be done for the cancer early detection , early diagnosis and early treatment , so then cuts the death rate.
