Mesothelioma is an aggressive tumor arising from the mesothelium, and is usually associated with previous exposure to asbestos. The incubation period of the tumor may be described as 30-40 years, and the prognosis is dismal. Recently, serum markers for the diagnosis of mesothelioma have been reported as candidates. In this paper, we mini-reviewed the potential utility of ELISA systems as serum diagnostic markers for asbestos-related mesothelioma.
间皮瘤是一种起源于间皮的侵袭性肿瘤,通常与既往接触石棉有关。该肿瘤的潜伏期可描述为30 - 40年,预后不佳。最近,有报道称一些血清标志物可作为间皮瘤诊断的候选指标。在本文中,我们对酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)系统作为石棉相关间皮瘤血清诊断标志物的潜在效用进行了简要综述。
