Abstract

Molecular cancer biomarkers are are molecules that can be measured and analyzed to gain information about the presence, progression, or response to treatment of a specific type of cancer. These molecules can be can be detected from various sources, including tissues and different body fluids such as blood, urine, stool, and others. The identification of cancer biomarkers plays a crucial role in various aspects of cancer research and clinical practice, including the detection, diagnosis, monitoring, and development of treatments for cancer. Biomarkers of cancer are widely used in clinical practice. Currently, with advancements in science and technology, methods for detecting molecular markers of cancer are continuously evolving and becoming more modern and effective. Understanding cancer molecular biomarkers is crucial for the development of new biomarkers with improved sensitivity, specificity, and clinical value.
