Abstract
Gastrointestinal tract tumors represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide. With recent technological advancements, the emergence of new biomarkers that offer diagnostic or prognostic information, monitor disease burden, and guide therapy has drastically enhanced our ability to provide effective and timely personalized medicine. Herein, we discuss the array of biomarkers which are currently recommended for clinical use in tumors of the luminal gastrointestinal tract and discuss several recently discovered biomarkers that have shown promising results.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
