Cancer is thought to arise from the accumulation of a series of somatic mutations. However, the genetic make-up as well as mRNA profiles are incomplete descriptors of the malignant phenotype, since proteins are the ultimate executioners of cellular functions. Proteomics provides complementary analytical solutions for deciphering protein functions that are geared toward a systems-level understanding of the cancer phenotype.
