Tag: Cancer Biomarkers

Biomarkers or biological markers are distinctive physiological features in an individual, which can be detected and quantified in order to gain insights about health and disease. On the other hand, digital biomarkers are defined as digital means that are employed to collect data about these unique biomarkers. These are combination of hardware and software features,

Advances in biotechnology have enabled the development of several high throughput tools, which have led to the establishment of better biomarkers based on genome / exome profiles. Novel biomarkers, such as tumour mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI) / mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency, tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and certain others, are presently being investigated across
