Core Tip

Core tip: A new comparative proteomic study using human primary gallbladder cancer (PGC), cholecystitis and normal gallbladder tissues to identify biomarkers of PGC was performed. Three new potential biomarkers of PGC were validated and may be informative in understanding the carcinogenic mechanisms and monitoring the treatment of PGC.
