This document relates to methods and materials for assessing and/or treating mammals (e.g., humans) having, or suspected of having, cancer. For example, methods and materials for identifying a mammal as having cancer are provided. For example, microfluidic devices that can be used to detect one or more target polypeptides (e.g., cancer-specific polypeptides) in a fluid sample obtained from a mammal (e.g., a mammal suspected of having cancer) are provided.

Methods and materials for treating cancer

Described are chips for detecting a target in a sample including a microfluidic flow chamber comprising one or more flow channels having a capture surface and at least one micromixer. Described are methods of using this chip wherein targets are identified by total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF).
