Abstract
EditorialThe ever-increasing importance of targeted therapy in themanagement of cancerous and non-neoplastic diseases callsfor novel, advanced techniques of diagnostic pathology. Thepast decade has witnessed substantial changes in how cancerpatients are managed, with a pronounced focus on precisionmedicine based on genomic profiles and gene expressionanalysis, thus discarding the “one-size-fits-all” approach1.Understanding tumor development and acquiring informationregarding the genetics, transcriptomics, proteomics, andepigenetics of pathological lesions, especially cancers, iscentral to precision medicine2. Several state-of-the-arttechniques, especially those directed towards the molecularcharacterisation of diseases, have been developed to meetthese challenges. Completing the Human Genome Projectand the advent of pharmacogenomics, disease managementhas changed drastically, especially that of cancers. Oncologyis now considered to be...
