❓ Frequently Asked Questions

A biomarker is a biological molecule that indicates a medical condition, treatment response, or disease progression. In oncology, biomarkers can help diagnose cancer, predict prognosis, or guide treatment decisions.

We use real-time data from the Open Targets Platform, which integrates public data to map relationships between diseases and genes.

We use AI (GPT-4) to generate concise, plain-language summaries of each biomarker’s role in a specific cancer type, based on Open Targets evidence.

Open Targets provides this score from 0–1 based on evidence linking the biomarker to the disease. A higher score means a stronger evidence-backed association.
