Key Takeaways

Biomarkers, including genetic mutations and protein expressions, are vital for predicting disease progression and treatment response.
Advanced diagnostic techniques are essential for identifying molecular and cellular indicators that inform patient prognosis.
Clinical indicators like tumor size, stage, and overall health status are crucial in assessing disease outcomes.
Personalized medicine utilizes biomarkers to customize treatment plans, improving therapeutic efficacy and patient survival.
