“…Most studies are focused on the secretome obtained from in vitro cell cultures, assuming that such cells' behavior well simulates the in vivo condition (Roelofsen et al, 2009). In particular, the cancer secretome, namely the whole collection of proteins secreted by cancer cells through various secretory pathways, has recently been shown to have significant potential, as secreted proteins might represent putative tumor biomarkers or therapeutic targets (Karagiannis et al, 2010). The most perfect approximation to the real situation is the study of the in vivo secretome.…”
