Signals of Change: How Biomarkers Are Reshaping Oncology and Healthcare Delivery

Biomarkers are pivotal for confirming diagnoses, predicting disease progression, and tailoring therapeutic modalities. Recent research focuses on the ‘omics’ technologies — genomics, proteomics, metabolomics.

Cancer remains a leading cause of global mortality, requiring advancement in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In modern oncology, cancer biomarkers — biological molecules such as proteins, genes, or metabolites that indicate the presence, progression, or behavior of cancer — have become crucial to diagnosis and treatment.

This field is rapidly evolving, driven by cutting-edge platform technologies and innovative ‘multi-omics’ approaches. An editorial published in September 2025 in Cancers provided a useful review, as well as opinions, on recent progress in the development of cancer biomarkers, exploring how emerging innovations are pushing oncology toward a more proactive, personalized, and economically sound approach.
