Abstract:

Due to the lack of specific and sensitive tumor markers,especially early tumor markers,the overall 5-year survival rate of tumor patients is low. However,the research progress of tumor markers is slow,and the clinical application is limited. It is urgent for clinical laboratories to strengthen the research on the basis and transformation of tumor markers for developing specific and sensitive tumor markers. This paper summarizes 5 papers published in the issue,hoping that the development and application of tumor markers could be promoted.
