Biomarkers for Lung Cancer

Overview

A biomarker is a biological or molecular indicator of a particular disease and is used to diagnose and monitor it. In the case of lung cancer, biomarkers are proteins or genetic material that are produced as a result of the disease. They are important tools for identifying the presence and severity of lung cancer as well as for tracking its progression. In recent years, biomarkers have been developed for the early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer and for monitoring the efficacy of treatments. By measuring the levels of biomarkers in a patient's blood or tissue, clinicians can accurately diagnose and monitor cases of lung cancer. This leads to better and more effective treatments, thereby improving patient outcomes.
