The diagnosis of the disease at early or premalignant stages is crucial for the patient s prognosis. To date diagnosis and follow-up of endometrial carcinoma and hyperplasia require invasive procedures. Therefore there is considerable demand for the identification of biomarkers to allow non-invasive detection of these conditions. Methods In this study we performed a quantitative proteomics analysis on serum samples from simple endometrial hyperplasia complex endometrial hyperplasia atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma patients as well as healthy women. Serum samples were first depleted of high-abundance proteins labeled with isobaric tags iTRAQ and then analyzed via two-dimensional liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. Protein identification and quantitation information were acquired by comparing the mass spectrometry data against the International Protein Index Database using ProteinPilot software. Bioinformatics annotation of identified proteins was performed by searching against the PANTHER database. Results In total 74 proteins were identified and quantified in serum samples from endometrial lesion patients and healthy women. Using a change as the benchmark 12 proteins showed significantly altered expression levels in at least one disease group compared with healthy women. Among them 7 proteins were found for the first time to be differentially expressed in atypical endometrial hyperplasia. These proteins are orosomucoid 1 haptoglobin SERPINC 1 alpha-1-antichymotrypsin .
