Variation in Plasma Levels of TRAF2 Protein During Development of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Tongue
As early detection is crucial for improvement of cancer prognosis, we searched for biomarkers in plasma from individuals who later developed squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue (SCCOT) as well as in patients with an already established SCCOT. Levels of 261 proteins related to inflammation and...

As early detection is crucial for improvement of cancer prognosis, we searched for biomarkers in plasma from individuals who later developed squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue (SCCOT) as well as in patients with an already established SCCOT.
