Early diagnosis and/or prognosis of diseases improves chances for a better outcome for the patient. The initiation of molecular processes that result in (chronic) diseases can be detected based on molecular changes, using proteomic technologies, prior to advanced organ damage. This could allow earlier intervention where drugs are most effective. The figure is adapted from Stepczynska et al. [10].
