Thus, there is tremendous opportunity to improve the outcome for people with cancer by enhancing detection and treatment approaches. Biomarkers will be instrumental in making that transition. Advances in biotechnology and genomics have given scientists new hope that biomarkers can be used to improve cancer screening and detection, to improve the drug development process, and to enhance the effectiveness and safety of cancer care by allowing physicians to tailor treatment for individual patients-an approach known as personalized medicine. However, progress overall has been slow, despite considerable effort and investment, and there are still many challenges and obstacles to overcome before this paradigm shift in oncology can become a reality.Tumor markersCancerDiagnosisCancerTreatmentTumor markers.CancerDiagnosis.CancerTreatment.616.99/4075Nass Sharyl J857626Moses Harold L1809537National Academies Press (U.S.)Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Committee on Developing Biomarker-Based Tools for Cancer Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957468703321Cancer biomarkers4364048UNINA
