What Role Do Biomarkers Play in Estimating Treatment Effects?
Biomarkers are biological molecules found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that indicate a normal or abnormal process, or a condition or disease. In cancer treatment, biomarkers can provide valuable information about how well a treatment is working. For instance, the presence of certain genetic mutations can predict how a cancer will respond to specific therapies, allowing for more personalized and effective treatment plans.
