Abstract

In his letter “A word of caution on new and revolutionary diagnostic tests,” Dr. Diamandis argues that discoveries and progress in the field of biomarker discovery for the early detection of cancer are hampered by multiple factors, including pre- and post-analytical and bioinformatics artifacts. He further indicates that careful patient selection is crucial.
