What is the Clinical Implication of Understanding Biological Thresholds?
Understanding biological thresholds in cancer has profound clinical implications. It aids in the early detection of cancer, as identifying biomarkers that indicate a cell is nearing this threshold can lead to earlier interventions. Moreover, targeted therapies can be designed to reinforce existing thresholds, thereby preventing cancer progression. For example, drugs targeting specific mutations in cancer-driving genes can help maintain cells below the malignant transformation threshold.
