I do not think there is a mistake in the original text, if you see the definitions I left on my answer:

2 [ingl. biomarker] s.m. Sustancia de origen biológico que aparece como consecuencia de una enfermedad o refleja el riesgo de desarrollarla.

Cecilia Gowar Dec 22, 2019:
I believe they are talking about targeted therapy (aimed at specific gene mutations). The biomarkers you mentioned are ¨mutaciones conductoras¨in Spanish.

Oh wait - another line from the same document We now have medicines to treat patients with three types of biomarker-driven lung cancers – ALK fusions, EGFR-mutations and ROS1 fusions
Wendy Gosselin (asker) Dec 22, 2019:
Source text error? This is what the source text says but I think you are right--perhaps it is a mistake. If it were "biomarker-driven THERAPIES", what would the translation be?
Cecilia Gowar Dec 22, 2019:
That is quite strange... therapies or trials are biomarker-driven, not the illness itself. Could there be a mistake? Shouldn't it be biomarker-driven lung cancer therapies?
