Prognostic and Diagnostic Markers in Diseases

Prognostic and Diagnostic Markers in Diseases aims to examine the properties, diagnostic, and prognostic values of biomarkers that can help clinicians in diagnosing, monitoring, and predicting the prognosis of many diseases that we encounter quite frequently in routine clinical disease practice. In this book, the roles of biomarkers in daily routines, the effects of developing molecular methods, additional signaling pathways, and immunological markers used in diagnosis on the behavior and prognosis of diseases are explored. A biomarker can be detected as an indicator of normal biological processes in the human body, pathogenic processes, as well as pharmacological responses to drug treatment. This book aims to evaluate which biomarker can be used in which clinical picture and to determine the patient's prognosis as well as the correct treatment. Prognostic and Diagnostic Markers in Diseases offers clinicians a comprehensive guide to approaching biomarkers that have different diagnostic values in diseases. It aims to provide its readers with valuable and up-to-date information in predicting the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of patients, both nationally and internationally. This book also aims to guide clinicians in investigating the relationship between biomarkers, which have become widely used in clinical research in recent years, and clinical endpoints. As a result, the book presents the importance of biomarkers, the features, mechanisms, and biological behaviors of these markers in light of current information, and to provide inspiration for readers to use these methods in daily practice.
