What Role Do Biomarkers Play in Monitoring Chronic Inflammation and Cancer Risk?
Biomarkers are molecules that can be measured to provide information about a biological process or disease state. In the context of chronic inflammation and cancer, biomarkers can help in several ways:
Early Detection: Biomarkers can be used to detect early signs of cancer in individuals with chronic inflammatory conditions. Monitoring Disease Progression: Biomarkers can help monitor the progression of both chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. Assessing Treatment Response: Biomarkers can be used to assess how well a patient is responding to anti-inflammatory or cancer treatments.
