Biomarkers: The Future of Medical Science to Detect Cancer

Abstract: The word biomarker in its medical context is a little over 30 years old, having first been used by Karpetsky, Humphrey, and Levy in the April 1977 edition of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, where they reported that the "serum RNase level was not a biomarker either for the presence or extent of the plasma cell tumour. " Few new words can have proved so popular. A recent Pub-Med search lists more than 370,000 publications that use it! Part of this success can no doubt be attributed to the fact that… Show more

“…Molecular biomarkers can be used to refer to nonimaging biomarkers that have biophysical properties, which allow their measurements in biological samples (e.g., plasma, serum, cerebrospinal fluid, bronchoalveolar lavage, and biopsy) (Karley et al, 2011). They can be classified based on their characteristics such as molecular biomarkers (CT, PET, MRI) or imaging biomarkers.…”

“…Classification and diagnostic prediction of complex diseases such as cancers and neuron-degeneration diseases using genomic or proteomic data can improve the quality of pathological diagnosis and help develop personalized treatment of these diseases [1]. Although great efforts have been exerted in this field, making early and precise diagnosis of complex diseases, followed through with effectively treating remains a great challenge.…”
