PRECIOUS INFORMATION TOWARDS PROGNOSIS, THERAPY AND TUMOR MANAGEMENT

The transformation of normal cells to cancer cells is caused by the abnormal expression of several genes with important cellular functions. The rapid development of molecular sciences in recent years contributed to revealing the identity of many of these genes. Also demonstrated the role of these genes in the mechanism of development, biological behavior and response of cancer cells to treatment. A modern and accurate way to access the activity of these genes is through gene expression and molecular profiling of the tumor cells.
