Extracellular Vesicle Tracking using surface proteins and Resonance Assays to detect breast Cancer in Early stage (EV-TRACE) KU Leuven
Problem
Early detection reduces cancer-related deaths because time is a matter of life and death for a cancer victim. Diagnostic screening tests must be sensitive, specific, inexpensive, non-invasive and provide sufficient lead-time. Single markers typically lack sensitivity and specificity. Extracellular Vesicles (EV) in liquid biopsies hold promise in the non-invasive detection of cancer because their molecular content (proteins, ...
