Toward deciphering proteomes of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues

Formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens comprise a potentially valuable resource for both prospective and retrospective biomarker discovery. Unlocking the proteomic profile of clinicopathological FFPE tissues is a critically essential step for annotating clinical findings and predicting biomarkers for ultimate disease prognosis and therapeutic follow‐up.
