The pan-cancer proteome atlas, a mass spectrometry-based landscape for discovering tumor biology, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets
Knol et al. report a large pan-cancer proteome landscape based on high-throughput, single-shot mass spectrometry across 22 cancer types including both liquid (n = 4) and solid cancers (n = 18), revealing co-expression-based phenotypes and immune phenotypes and defining top 25 ranked proteins as potential biomarkers and drug targets for each cancer type as well as a multi-cancer classifier.
