Cancer Mol. 3(6): 175-181, 2008' %A William Cho %J Journal of Cancer Molecules %D 2008 %I %X Dear Prof. He, I have read your recent paper entitled, "Serum Levels of Apolipoprotein A-II as a Potential Marker for Cholangiocarcinoma", published in Journal of Cancer Molecules. Congratulations on your work and thank you for citing a paper (ref. 32) from my group. However, I would like to address that it is better to refer to other papers of my group for a relevancy as the paper you cited (Ref. 32) is on SARS only. Thank you for your kind attention. Discussion: SELDI-TOF-MS has been successfully applied in early biomarker detection and identification in multiple adult cancers, including ovarian, prostate, lung, and breast cancers [27-35]. 32.
