Core Tip |
The genetic and epigenetic alterations in gastric cancers (GC) have biological and clinical implications. Recent advances in the molecular research of GC have introduced new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to clinical settings. In this review, we summarize the key findings of past reports pertaining to the genetics and epigenetics of GC and their relationship to and future applications in next-generation sequencing (NGS). We also describe the recurrently mutated genes and alterations in GC identified by NGS technology and discuss the basic framework for future investigations, including the challenges of using NGS as a tool for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery. |
