Improving the Biomarker Pipeline for Cancer Screening Tests
The development and evaluation of new biomarkers for cancer screening tests includes three stages: identification of promising biomarkers for the early detection of cancer, initial evaluation of biomarkers for cancer screening, and definitive evaluation of biomarkers for cancer screening. In a commentary, Baker (p. 1116) discusses statistical and biological issues that should be taken into account to improve this biomarker pipeline. He describes previous recommendations, including identifying cases based on clinical symptoms, keeping biomarker tests simple, and adjusting for postscreening noise. He also makes new recommendations; these include more frequent specimen collection
