Abstract
Presymptomatic screening to detect early-stage cancer reduces cancer-relate d mortality and treatment-related morbidity. Identifying a new class of can cer-associated serum proteins and validating sensitive and specific predict ive assays would expand the current clinical capabilities for early cancer detection and diagnosis, and further reduce cancer mortality.
