Towards systems biomarkers for cancer diagnosis
Cancer is asymptomatic during most of its pathogenesis. It is very difficult to see that a cancer is growing in a person, except for a few self-evident cases such as skin cancer. Its intangibility and year-, if not decade-long progression make cancer hard to diagnose until some symptoms warrant further…
