August 6th, 2004
The oncological impact of gene expression profiling has been reviewed. "Genomics has enabled the examination of the totality of disease at the transcriptome level," scientists in the United States explained. "Dependent upon a myriad of genetic aberrations for its pathogenesis, cancer has been the focus of gene expression profiling studies that have highlighted the potential clinical applications of this technology." "This type of molecular profiling has the potential to enhance the ability of pathologists and oncologists to correctly classify tumors, not just into existing subgroups which may or may not have clear prognostic implications, but into...
