[Consultation for diagnosis and monitoring of cancer using genetic markers].
We have more opportunities to diagnose cancer and cancer-related diseases using genetic markers than to diagnose cytogenetic disorders and diseases caused by single-gene defects. To select effective genetic markers for diagnosis and monitoring of neoplasms, we often have meetings with clinicians, pathologists, specialized technicians and clinical laboratory physicians. Here are some case presentations outlining the contributions of genetic markers to analysis, diagnosis and monitoring of malignancy and malignancy-related diseases.
