Biomarkers are molecular indicators of a biological status and, as biochemical species, can be interrogated to evaluate disease status and therapeutic interventions. Biomarkers may be detectable in the blood, other body fluids, or tissues. The expectation is that the level of an informative biomarker is related to the specific type of disease present in the body. Hence, disease-relevant biomarkers can be used to measure the presence, progress, or intensity of disease. Through a variety of mechanisms, cancer cells provide the biomarker material for their own detection. Tumor biomarkers include cancer-specific mutations or changes in gene expression, both of which can ... Read more

Reviews for Tumor Biomarker Discovery: Methods and Protocols: 520 (Methods in Molecular Biology, 520)
From the reviews: “This well-illustrated book is an excellent resource on nucleic acid and protein-based technologies and metabolic profiling by analytic means or mass spectroscopy as well as for study designs for tumor biomarker discovery and validation. The audience includes both researchers interested in the identification and development of new tumor biomarkers and clinicians who need to be familiar ... Read more
