Zusammenfassung:Dear Editor, Cancer is prevalent worldwide. Currently, most routinely used non-invasive serological cancer biomarkers, including carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), α-fetoprotein (AFP), CA125, CA15-3, and CA19-9, suffer from low specificity and/ or low sensitivity [1]. Improvements in timely and effective diagnosis of cancer are urgently needed.
