The ISOBM is an international non-profit organization founded in 1972. It is a scientific network of researchers and clinicians dedicated to biomarkers in oncology. Main aspects are the scientific exploration and clinical implementation of new biomarkers. Special focus is on new technologies, quality issues and biomarker interpretation strategies. Experts share their experiences at annual or biannual scientific meetings. The Journal of the ISOBM “Tumor Biology” is one of leading oncological journals.
