Individualized cancer therapy: molecular approaches to the prediction of tumor response.

abstract：:As with many human malignancies, pancreatic cancer is a complex genetic disorder. Several thousand disease-associated alterations on the DNA, mRNA, miRNA and protein levels have been reported to date. Some of these alterations, including a number of gatekeeper mutations, which are of pre-eminent importance for the ons...
