Questions that can be answered by biomarkers
In cancer research and medicine, biomarkers are used in three primary ways: (A) Diagnostic - To help diagnose conditions, as in the case of identifying early stage cancers. (B) Prognostic - To forecast how aggressive a condition is, as in the case of determining a patient's ability to fare in the absence of treatment. (C) Predictive - To predict how well a patient will respond to treatment.
