Abstract

Tumor proteomics apply proteomics techniques to tumor biological research, mainly by screening candidate biomarkers for early tumor diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a type of malignant tumor with one of the highest death rates in the world. With the advent of the post-genomic age, tumor biological research developing the technology of proteomics has become a major focus of researchers. The discovery of novel candidate biomarkers is one of crucial problems for the early diagnosis of HCC. In general, there are three distinct types of candidate biomarkers for HCC based on different areas: biochemical biomarkers, antigenic biomarkers and epigenetic biomarkers. This review mainly discusses current advances in the problems and prospects of candidate biomarker for the early diagnosis of HCC, discovered by technologies of tumor proteomics.
