NIH ProtIG Seminar by Stefani Thomas: Development of proteogenomic ovarian cancer biomarkers: diagnostic of disease stage and predictive of therapeutic response
Currently, no clinical test is approved by the US FDA to screen the general population for ovarian cancer – the most lethal gynecologic malignancy in women. Additionally, to improve the selection of patients with ovarian cancer who are most likely to benefit from targeted therapy, there is a critical need to adopt analytical approaches beyond conventional genomic scar assays. Ovarian cancer patients experience a broad spectrum of clinical benefit in response to targeted therapy based on their tumor mutational profile. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic and proteogenomic approaches can address these gaps in clinical c...
