Abstract
Since the discovery of the Bence Jones protein in the middle to late 1800s and the subsequent identification of the carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha-fetoprotein in the 1970s, it has been demonstrated that the analysis of biofluids is essential to the diagnostic and follow-up processes of cancer [...].
