Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract </title> <p>Cholangiocarcinoma is one of the most serious diseases in northeast Thailand, where its incidence is reported to be the highest in the world. We tried to develop a new method to detect cholangiocarcinoma in the early stages using serum proteins. We found that after fluorescent labeling of the sugar moiety of serum proteins, a new peak was identified, which might be a promising marker for cholangiocarcinoma.</p> </abstract>
