Multiple Biomarkers Disease Activity Algorithms (MBDAAs)
Biomarkers are making their way into investigation and are producing an enormous amount of information: With the rapid advances in genomic and proteomic technology, the discovery of useful biomarkers has arisen to unravel the unique signatures of cancer cells, enabling investigators to pose scientific questions and address problems that, until recently, were inconceivable.
This has shifted the focus on biomarker-based disease detection from one biomarker to a panel of biomarkers, for which we develop Multiple Biomarkers Disease Activity Algorithms (MBDAAs) as standard-of-care replacement for diagnosis, confirmatory diagnostic ―as an adjunct to suspicious image procedures findings, in order to reduce the number of unnecessary tissue biopsies that patients have to undergo―, or as complementary criteria.
