Abstract:
Tumor markers of breast cancer are closely related to its biological behaviors and are essential for treatment strategy making. Although traditional immunohistocbemistry(IHC) is the most commonly used molecular pathological method for tumor marker detection, it can not meet the clinical requirements for quantitative and individualized treatment. With the unique photo-physical properties of quantum dots(QDs), QDs conjugated probes have been successfully used in molecular and in vivo imaging, in the study on mechanism of drug delivery and targeted therapy and especially in the detection of tumor markers in vitro and molecular targeted diagnosis of breast cancer and individualized treatment strategy making. The technique has a broad prospect in clinical application.
