摘要: Oncology is considered as the pioneer indication for clinical application of molecular biomarkers. Newly developed targeted anticancer therapies call implementation biomarker strategies but even novel cytotoxic treatments use biomarkers assessment efficacy and toxicity. Biomarkers may play several roles in progression a drug from research to personalised medicine. In particular are used understand mechanism action drug, monitor modulation intended target, assess safety, adapt dosing schedule, select patients prognosticate outcome. Nowadays, oncology still challenged only limited number drugs on market have companion test be mandatorily performed before treatment. This contradiction with current major investment pharmaceutical sector devoting identification development. What measurable milestones outcomes these investments? How does development contribute reaching ultimate goal finding right molecules targets at doses schedules patients? review provides critical overview recent salient achievements
