HPLC-MS/MS analysis of plasma samples from patients with colorectal cancer

We sought to identify a characteristic profile of proteins in blood plasma samples taken from patients with colorectal cancer using mass spectrometry. We obtained mass spectrometry data of 38 samples from patients with colorectal cancer and 41 samples from healthy volunteers and the data analysis were carried out using panoramic ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry. We carried out a comparative analysis for two series "case" and "control" of protein profiles, differently expressed proteins and proteins with posttranslational modifications.
