Among the leading cause of death cancer ranked in top position. Early diagnosis of cancer holds promise for reduced mortality rate and speedy recovery. The cancer associated molecules being altered in terms of under/over expression when compared to normal cells and thus could act as biomarkers for therapeutic designing and drug repurposing. The information about the known cancer associated biomarkers can be exploited for targeting of cancer specifically in terms of selective personalized
