Live-single-cell phenotypic cancer biomarkers-future role in precision oncology?

Abstract The promise of precision and personalized medicine is rooted in accurate, highly sensitive, and specific disease biomarkers. This is particularly true for cancer-a disease characterized by marked tumor heterogeneity and diverse molecular signatures. Although thousands of biomarkers have bee...
