Abstract:
The term biomarkers defines a wide collection of biological indicators responsible for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment outcome for an individual. In cancer, biomarkers are precise and valuable tool in diagnosis of early onset of neoplasm, diversity in oncologic conditions, heterogeneity in tumor and its micro-environment. As cancer treatment has shifted from high dosage and multiple therapy to precise and precision medicine, the role of biomarkers have been exponentially captured the therapeutic market. The cancer biomarkers ranges from diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, pharmacodynamic and monitoring to companion diagnostic biomarkers. The use of these biomarkers are very precise and strategically designed for the high efficacy and less toxic for the patient.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
