RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
IN THE DIAGNOSIS & PROGNOSIS OF CANCER.
Mr. Naveenchandra, Dr. B. Ravishankar, Dr. B.V. Prasanna, SDMCA, UDUPI.
Cancer continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in human beings. Early
detection of various forms of cancer before they spread and become incurable is an important
incentive for physicians and research scientists. One of the best ways to diagnose cancer
early, aid in its prognosis, or predict therapeutic response, is to use serum or tissue biomarkers.
Tumour markers may be grouped as diagnostic biomarker which is used to detect and identify
a given type of cancer in an individual. (eg: Bence–Jones protein in urine remains one of the
strongest diagnostic indicators of multiple myeloma.), prognostic markers which are expected
to predict the probable course of the disease including its recurrence, and have an important
influence on the aggressiveness of therapy. This marker classifies individuals as likely
responders or non responders to a particular treatment. These biomarkers mainly arise from
array-type experiments that make it possible to predict clinical outcome from the molecular
characteristics of a patient’s tumour.
This paper provides a brief account on various biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and
therapeutic purposes, which include markers already in clinical practice as well as various

ABSTRACT
upcoming biomarkers and techniques. Outlines the number of strategies for the discovery of
cancer biomarkers utilizing emerging technologies and discusses merits and limitations. The
introduction of latest technologies in clinical biochemistry such as mass spectrometry and
protein and DNA arrays, combined with our understanding of the human genome, has enabled
simultaneous examination of thousands of proteins and genes in a single assay. The modern
technologies are capable of performing parallel analyses as opposed to the serial analyses
conducted with older methods, and they therefore provide opportunities to identify
distinguishing patterns for cancer diagnosis and classification as well as to predict response to
therapies. It is now necessary to focus on careful validation studies in order to identify the
strategies and biomarkers that work and bring them to the clinic as early as possible.
Key words : Cancer, prognostic tumour markers, biomarkers.

PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH IN ARBUDA
Dr. Unnigopala Krishnan,Vishnu Ayurveda College, Shorannur.
Cancer is derived from Latin root word “Canerum and Greek word ‘Karkions” which
means one animal - carb. The synonym of cancer to a carb and its fatalism has been described
in Alexander Solzhenistsyns famous novel ‘Cancer Word’. The carb once grabs the patients
with its invading pioneers, doesn’t let it go until the victim coraks. Cancer is a multi step
process in which multiple genetic alterations must occur, usually over a span of years. Cancer
cells frequently have diverse set of pathenotypic abnormalities, including loss of differentaion,
increased motility or invasiveness, and decreased drug sensitivity.
