MALDI-TOF MS Analysis of Serum Peptidome Patterns in Cervical Cancer.

Laboratory-based rapid mass spectrometry showed that serum peptidome patterns could serve as diagnostic tools for diagnosing cervical cancer; however, verification through larger cohorts and association with clinical data are required, and the use of externally validated samples, such as patients with other types of cancers, should be investigated to validate the specific peptide patterns.
