- Abstract
The identification of new diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers is one of the main aims of clinical cancer research. In recent years there has been a growing interest in using high throughput technologies for the detection of such biomarkers. In particular, mass spectrometry appears as an exciting tool with great potential. However, to extract any benefit from the massive potential of clinical proteomic studies, appropriate methods, improvement and validation are required. To better understand the key statistical points involved with such studies, this review presents the main data analysis steps of protein mass spectra data analysis, from the pre-processing of the data to the identification and validation of biomarkers.
