Microarray and histopathological analysis of tumours: the future and the past?

Nat Rev Cancer. 2001 Nov;1(2):151-7. doi: 10.1038/35101087.

Abstract

The excitement surrounding the development of DNA microarray analysis and proteomics has raised questions about the role of these techniques in clinical practice and patient management. But how did the traditional methods of cancer diagnosis and prognosis develop, and how can high-throughput techniques contribute?
