Assessing biological and technological variability in protein levels measured in pre-diagnostic plasma samples of women with breast cancer
Abstract Background Quantitative proteomics allows for the discovery and functional investigation of blood-based pre-diagnostic biomarkers for early cancer detection. However, a major limitation of proteomic investigations in biomarker studies remains the biological and technical variability in the...
