Despite its potential, biomarker analysis faces several challenges:
Standardization: There is a need for standardized protocols and reagents to ensure consistency and reproducibility. Sensitivity and Specificity: Ensuring that biomarkers are both sensitive (able to detect disease) and specific (able to distinguish between different diseases) is challenging. Interpretation: The interpretation of biomarker data can be complex and requires expertise. Cost: Advanced techniques and equipment can be expensive, limiting accessibility. Sample Quality: The quality and preservation of tissue samples can affect the accuracy of biomarker analysis.
