Biomarkers, Cancer Therapy & Clinical Research

Imaging Technologies and Diagnostic tests of Biomarkers

In clinical trials using imaging, biomarkers and response criteria are used to assess the tumor evolution with therapy. Imaging biomarkers are often root contributors to a clinical trial’s endpoints, but they are not the same. Diagnostic tests and the biological biomarker (biomarkers) they measure are often classified based on the circumstances under which they are used. Biomarkers provide information about a patient at virtually every stage of care. They can help doctors evaluate the likelihood that a patient will develop a disease, diagnose a disorder, evaluate the severity of a disorder and/or its likely progression, determine optimal treatment strategies and monitor response to treatment.
