Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The discovery of molecular biomarkers is crucial to the diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). METHODS: Proteins from pre-surgery serum samples of patients with HNSCC and healthy individuals were analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) using a 17 cm-long immobilized pH gradient gel strip (large gel). The differentially expressed protein spots were detected by statistical...
