An Update on Breast Cancer Biomarkers

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer that affects millions of people worldwide. Delayed diagnosis of these cancers has increased the morbidity and mortality. However, the vast research on cancer biomarkers during recent years provide a powerful and dynamic approach to understand the wide spectrum of cancers with applications in prognosis, diagnosis, screening, randomized clinical trials, and observational and analytic epidemiology. Cancer biomarkers have tremendously increased the efficacy of treatment and efficacy of detection. We have comprehensively summarized various biomarkers of breast cancer and highlighted recent research.
