Biomarker Stratification

Meaning

The clinical process of classifying individuals into distinct subgroups based on the specific profile and magnitude of their measurable biological indicators. This systematic categorization allows for the precise tailoring of preventative and therapeutic strategies to the unique biological characteristics and risk level of each stratified group. It is a critical component of personalized medicine, moving away from a one-size-fits-all approach toward biologically relevant patient clustering.
