Cancer Salivary Biomarkers for Tumours Distant to the Oral Cavity. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2016, 17, 15311422-0067http://hdl.handle.net/10347/15884The analysis of saliva as a diagnostic approach for systemic diseases was proposed just two decades ago, but recently great interest in the field has emerged because of its revolutionary potential as a liquid biopsy and its usefulness as a non-invasive sampling method. Multiple molecules isolated in saliva have been proposed as cancer biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, drug monitoring and pharmacogenetic studies. In this review, we focus on the current status of the salivary diagnostic biomarkers for different cancers distant to the oral cavity, noting their potential use in the clinic and their applicability in personalising cancer therapieseng© 2016 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
