摘要: Completion of the human genome project has revolutionised translational medicine. High-throughput technology now permits investigators to systematically interrogate genome, transcriptome, proteome and metabolome. It is expected that these advances will eventually be translated into new more sensitive diagnostic tests less toxic therapeutics. A major shift in clinical oncology over next few decades as we start move away from currently practiced, population-based approaches personalised In this emerging approach, molecular pathophysiological characteristics an individual patient tumour measured tailored therapeutic regimens administered based on profiles. One key steps process identification validation biomarkers. Whilst great have been made discovery putative biomarkers, disappointingly clinically applicable assays. widely believed due a lack well-designed, thorough studies. Here, review role DNA microarrays tissue biomarkers breast cancer, with emphasis their potential application determine mode therapy future.
