Prognostics is an engineering discipline focused on predicting the time at which a system or a component will no longer perform its intended function. [1] This lack of performance is most often a failure beyond which the system can no longer be used to meet desired performance.
A prognostic variable in engineering within the context of prognostics, is a measured or estimated variable that is correlated with the health condition of a system, and may be used to predict its residual useful life.
A panel of epigenetic methylation marker has been explored for prognosis of ovarian cancer, and it is reported that the panel exhibited high specificity and sensitivity (both above 70%) as a screen marker. [5] Epigenetic markers have also shown promising potential as prognostic markers for bladder cancer. [6]
Prognosis is a doctor's prediction about a disease.. Prognosis may also refer to: . Prediction, a statement or claim that a particular event will occur in the future; Prognostics, an engineering discipline focused on predicting the future condition or estimating remaining useful life of a component and/or system of components

The goal of predictive medicine is to predict the probability of future disease so that health care professionals and the patient themselves can be proactive in instituting lifestyle modifications and increased physician surveillance, such as bi-annual full body skin exams by a dermatologist or internist if their patient is found to have an increased risk of melanoma, an EKG and cardiology ...
