Abstract
Currently there are no biomarkers for ovarian cancer. We discover an ovarian cancer biomarker using mass spectrometry and use microtoroid resonators for label-free ultra-sensitive detection of this marker in ovarian cancer tumor-implanted mice. After characterizing the sensor response with standard solutions, we then perform a quantitative analysis to investigate the concentration of the biomarker in several mouse vaginal lavage samples. The results show that the biomarker levels increase with time, revealing the progression of tumors implanted in mice.
