This article examines the accuracy and effectiveness of the NETest biomarker in diagnosing diseases compared to CgA and Pancreastatin. Unlike Pancreastatin, NETest is not influenced by pancreas, kidney, or liver damage, making it highly accurate (>90%). The NETest outperforms CgA and Pancreastatin in terms of sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), and Negative Predictive Value (NPV). A clinically effective circulating biomarker must meet specific technical attributes, including easy detection, affordability, and strong association with a specific tumor. Accurate biomarker measurement that is reliable, reproducible, and differentiates between normal and diseased conditions is essential. The article emphasizes that all biomarker performance metrics should exceed 80%. Published in Nat Biotechnol 2010, 28431.

What constitutes a clinically effective circulating biomarker? An effective circulating biomarker must exhibit three key technical attributes: The marker must be present in peripheral body fluid It must be easy to detect or quantify in assays that are both affordable and robust Its appearance must be associated as specifically as possible with a specific tumor, preferably in a quantifiable manner. Measurement of a biomarker should be accurate, reliable, reproducible and differentiate between normal and the specific disease of interest. All performance metrics should be >80% Biomarkers on a roll. Nat Biotechnol.2010, 28431
