Many cancer patients are diagnosed at a stage in which the cancer
is too far advanced to be cured, and most cancer treatments are
effective in only a minority of patients undergoing therapy. Thus,
there is tremendous opportunity to improve the outcome for people
with cancer by enhancing detection and treatment approaches.
Biomarkers will be instrumental in making that transition. Advances
in biotechnology and genomics have given scientists new hope that
biomarkers can be used to improve cancer screening and detection,
to improve the drug development process, and to enhance the
effectiveness and safety of cancer care by allowing physicians to
tailor treatment for individual patients—an approach known
as personalized medicine. However, progress overall has been slow,
despite considerable effort and investment, and there are still
many challenges and obstacles to overcome before this paradigm
shift in oncology can become a reality. Table of Contents Front
