Biomarkers
Biomarkers are indicators of a normal or abnormal biological processes such as health, disease and environmental exposure. They can be measured in a variety of ways such as in blood tests, imaging studies or other biological samples. They are used in diagnosing diseases, determining the risk of developing a disease and in helping to select treatments. By monitoring biomarkers, clinicians can more accurately detect, monitor and treat conditions more effectively. The use of biomarkers helps to improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and provide more personalised medical decisions. Furthermore, biomarkers can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments and predict the course of a disease.
