Since there is no abstract available we provide the first paragraph.
Most of “omics” studies-based prognostic and predictive biomarkers have limited practical medical utility particular in clinical management of cancer. To prevent false reports, certain diseases, the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) released a draft list of 29 criteria, such as documenting where specimens came from and ensuring experiments can be properly replicated . Now researchers must address these criteria before receiving NCI funds to run a clinical trial. But even if these criteria are met, there is skepticisism whether robust biomarkers can be produced without deep genome sequencing and integrated genome functional analysis of clinical samples.
