Abstract: Proteomics is an emerging discipline which studies the composition of proteins and their transformation rules at the cellular level and the overall level. Recently, proteomics has been used in a variety of studies of tumors. And it has made some progresses in explaining the mechanisms of tumors’ genesis and development, discovering new specific markers for tumors and new targets for drug treatment, and forecasting tumors’ biological behaviors.

Key words: Proteomics, Neoplasms, Tumor markers, biological
