The heterogeneity of tumors in terms of genetics, epigenetics, microenvironment, and immune landscape makes \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d treatments often insufficient. Predictive biomarkers enable more precise stratification of patients, offering optimized therapeutic benefit while minimizing unnecessary toxicity or cost. This approach underpins the transformation to precision oncology and is gaining strength with modern molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Predictive_Biomarkers\"><\/span>Types of Predictive Biomarkers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Predictive biomarkers are defined as biological indicators that inform the likelihood of response to a specific therapeutic intervention. This distinguishes them from prognostic biomarkers, which provide information on disease outcome independent of treatment. Notably, several biomarkers discussed in this review\u2014such as microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)\u2014may exhibit both predictive and prognostic value.

Sustained advancement in multi-omics technologies, bioinformatics pipelines, and regulatory standardization will be essential to fully integrate biomarker-guided approaches into routine clinical practice.
