Biomarkers
Biomarkers are indicators of biological processes that are measurable and can be used to assess the health of a biological system. They are used in medicine to investigate, diagnose, and monitor diseases, in particular cancer, and to measure a person's response to treatment. They can also be used to determine the effects of drugs, toxins, and other environmental factors on a person's health. Biomarkers can be used to assess an individual's risk of developing a disease in the future or to estimate the likelihood of a positive response to a particular therapy. They are a valuable tool in providing information that can help guide decisions about diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
