This paper describes current options of personalized medicine in oncology, particularly the importance of predictive biomarkers for targeted

treatment response. The authors discuss the routinely used biomarkers as well as tested biomarkers. Verification and subsequent

usage of these biomarkers in clinical practice is currently the subject of intensive research.

Keywords: biomarker, personalized medicine, targeted therapy, oncology
