Serum proteomic pattern diagnostics is an emerging paradigm employing low-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) to generate a set of biomarker classifiers. In the present study, we utilized a well-controlled ovarian cancer serum study set to compare the sensitivity and specificity of serum proteomic diagnostic patterns acquired using a high-resolution versus a low-resolution MS platform. In blinded testing sets, the high-resolution mass spectral data contained multiple diagnostic signatures that were superior to the low-resolution spectra in terms of sensitivity and specificity (P
