Example sentences for: biomarker

How can you use “biomarker” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The implication is that a similar FPR and TPR for a biomarker would lead to an acceptable screening modality.

  • When biomarker measurements occur at regular time intervals (and allowing different numbers of measurements for each subject), one can estimate TPR and FPR by using a first order Markov chain in reverse time, as described by Baker and Tockman [ 20 ] for the analysis of precancerous lesions for lung cancer.

  • Lysophophatidic Acid (LPA) is a member of this class of compounds, and its plasma levels have been proposed as a potential biomarker for ovarian cancer [ 16 17 ] . LPA is a family of related molecules with molecular weights in the vicinity of 400 to 600 Daltons, and a variety of LPA species has been reported to be increased in malignant ascites from patients with ovarian cancer as detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) [ 18 ] . LPA related species have also been reported to be increased in plasma samples from patients with ovarian cancer using a combination of thin layer chromatography (to isolate an "LPA band" from patient plasma) followed by ESI-MS.

  • For a particular biomarker, these target values of FPR and TPR from mammography may need modification depending on various factors.

  • For example, consider a biomarker for the early detection of lung cancer where the data comes from a biorepository arising from a randomized trial of healthy subjects.
