Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The 'one biomarker/one drug' scenario is unsustainable because cancer is a complex disorder that involves a number of molecular defects. In the past decade, major technological advances have lowered the overall cost and increased the efficiency of next-generation sequencing (NGS). AREAS COVERED: We review recent regulations on NGS and complementary diagnostics in Japan, mainly focusing on...
