Biomarker testing is the analysis of a patient's tissue, blood, or other biospecimen for the presence of a biomarker. Biomarker testing is a crucial step for accessing precision medicine, including targeted therapies that can lead to improved survivorship and better quality of life for chronic disease patients.

Given the complexity of arthritic diseases and demographics impacted, understanding arthritis is the first step in managing it. Symptoms of types of arthritis can vary and even be mistaken for other illnesses and disorders, so biomarker testing is imperative to pinpointing the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan. Considering there are multiple classes of drugs to treat types of arthritis, using biomarking testing can aid in administering precise care. Revolutionizing health outcomes through more targeted therapies can lead to improved survivorship and better mobility and quality of life for patients.
