Abstract excerpt
Recent research has revealed the existence of specific mutations in cancer. These mutations are being investigated as targets to find subjects at high risk for cancer, to detect early cancer, to detect the early recurrence of established cancer, and to find micrometastasis. These mutations are reviewed for the major anatomic sites. Some of the clinical issues related to the application of these mutations and the...
