The third webinar in Us TOO's series, What is Right for Me in My Prostate Cancer Treatment?, is a discussion on the topic of Biomarkers. Biomarkers are measurements that give information about the activity of cancer and potential response to therapy. These can be measured in blood, but also include imaging findings. The use of biomarkers may help men personalize therapy more effectively and may contribute to understanding response to treatment.
