Reporting Studies of Tumor Markers
Website: www.cancerdiagnosis.nci.nih.gov/assessment/progress/remark.html
The REMARK guidelines resulted from a collaboration of a PACCT strategy group and an NCI-EORTC working group. REMARK includes information that should be reported in all publications about tumor markers. These recommendations were published simultaneously in British Journal of Cancer, European Journal of Cancer, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and Nature Clinical Practice Oncology.
The recommendations are available on the CDP Website to help the research community and members of journal editorial boards ensure that more complete information is included in publications about prognostic markers.
The recommendations are organized according to a format typical of articles appearing in biomedical journals, corresponding to the introduction, materials and methods, results, and discussion sections.
