Abstract
Genomic profiling is a significant addition to the clinician's armamentarium, enabling more specific diagnosis and targeted treatment of a wide range of diseases, including cancer. Although not yet widely used in a clinical setting, the new technology is providing detailed information about the particular genes expressed in malignant tissues. The predictive value of this information has been demonstrated in small clinical trials. The results of these and other groundbreaking studies are briefly reviewed.
