Breast Cancer Related Proteins Are Present in Saliva and Are Modulated Secondary to Ductal Carcinoma<i>In Situ</i>of the Breast

Abstract

The study suggests that saliva is a fluid suffused with solubilized by-products of oncogenic expression and that these proteins may be modulated secondary to DCIS. Additionally, there may be salivary protein profiles that are unique to both DCIS and fibroadenoma tumors.
