3 Motivations Underlying Biomarker Integration into Oncology Drug Development Despite its relatively recent emergence onto the research agenda, the biomarker concept is now invoked at all stages of oncology drug development, from early preclinical studies to late-stage clinical trials. The search for meaningful oncology biomarkers reflects both the growing importance of precision medicine and the increasing emphasis on finding ways to streamline the drug development process . In the context of oncology drug development, precision (or personalized) medicine captures the notion of cancer as a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by a diverse array of gene expression and activity patterns .
