Mathematical Assessment of Prognosis

Diagnosis is the result of combined clinical and biological examinations. In most cases, it is refined by a classification of the patient in a disease group, which in turn contributes to prognostic assessment. Prognosis has long been the subjective result of experience. With the appearance of new technologies combining numerous samples with large-scale quantitative biological marker measurements, molecular assessment supplied new possibilities in cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
