Biomarkers, and their growing impact upon therapeutic and diagnostics approaches within cancer care, represent one of the new frontiers in medicine. The incorporation of biomarkers within clinical development and commercialization strategies for new cancer agents is resulting from the increasing prognostic and predictive value that they offer. Cancer care is quickly moving from traditional diagnosis and treatment approaches to molecular-based, personalized medicine pathways. Yet, with the evolving acceptance and validation of new biomarkers by payers and oncology providers, there is so much surrounding the utility of cancer biomarkers in drug development and in the clinic that remains to be defined.
