      abstract = {This volume focuses on the clinical applications of  molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy from the viewpoint  of oncologists specializing in specific organs. In  addition, it discusses the role of molecular diagnosis and  targeted therapy in the course of surgical treatment.  Recent, rapid advances in molecular biology have shed new  light on the mechanisms of cancer progression, and  molecularly targeted drugs have been used to treat a  variety of malignant diseases. For the diagnosis and  precise treatment of cancer, analysis of the molecular  background of the tumor is indispensable. However, there  are both tumor-specific and comprehensive mechanisms  involved in these processes. Accordingly, a firm grasp of  molecular diagnosis and targeted therapies for different  tumors is vital for clinicians and basic researchers alike.  This book provides essential information and the latest  findings on molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy for  thoracic and gastrointestinal malignancies. Though  primarily intended for clinical and basic oncologists, it  also offers a useful guide for clinicians who are  interested in this field and are considering getting  started in molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy.},
