Cancer. 2011 May 15;117(10 Suppl):2262-7. doi: 10.1002/cncr.26049.

Abstract

This mini-review describes the rapid changes in genome technologies that are leading to comprehensive views of genetic alterations in cancer, and presents high-level thoughts on ways to accelerate translation into clinical medicine. Issues that are more relevant to children, adolescents, and young adult patients with cancer are highlighted.
