Cancer screening by systemic administration of a gene delivery vector encoding tumor-selective secretable biomarker expression.

Cancer biomarkers facilitate screening and early detection but are known for only a few cancer types. We demonstrated the principle of inducing tumors to secrete a serum biomarker using a systemically administered gene delivery vector that targets tumors for selective expression of an engineered cas...
