摘要

New technologies are constantly being introduced into the medical and surgical fields.These technologies come in the form of newer medicines,imaging methods and prognostic tools,among others,and allow clinicians to make more rational and informed decisions on the care of their patients.Many of these technologies utilize advanced techniques which are at the forefront of many research fields and represent a transition of bench advances into the clinical realm.This review will highlight four technologies that are at the forefront in the treatment of oncology patients treated by surgeons on a daily basis.Circulating tumor cells,microarray analysis,proteomic studies and rapid sequencing technologies will be highlighted.These technologies will be reviewed and their potential use in the care of surgical patients will be discussed.
