Abstract
Breast cancer is the one of leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women within economically developed regions of the world. A major focus of present research into this malignancy is the identification of new biomarkers and drug targets to improve detection and treatment. Proteomics represents one of the latest technological developments in this context. It aims to analyse the complex circuitry of the breast cancer proteome. Here, the authors review how breast cancer proteomics has progressed so far, with emphasis on its potential application to clinically relevant scenarios.
