Abstract

A cancer biomarker is a substance that indicates the presence of cancer. It could be secreted by a tumor or result from a specific response to the cancer. Genetic, epigenetic, proteomic, glycomic, and imaging biomarkers can be used for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and epidemiology. This chapter outlines the sources of the most up-to-date information on the regulatory bodies, journals on biomarkers, journals on cancer, professional bodies, books, emerging techniques and platforms, and websites that are relevant to an evidence-based use of biomarkers in health and disease.
