How is the AUC-ROC Curve Used in Evaluating Cancer Biomarkers?
Cancer biomarkers are substances or processes that can be measured in the body and may indicate the presence of cancer. The AUC-ROC curve is used to evaluate the effectiveness of these biomarkers. For instance, a biomarker with a high AUC value is considered to have a strong diagnostic ability to distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous states.
