Abstract:

Recently, the concept of translational medicine has come into being with the fast development of basic medicine such as molecular biology and change of medical mode. The aim of translational medicine is to quickly and effectively translate the basic research achievement of medical biology into theories, technologies, methods and drugs for clinical application, which paves a way from bench to bedside. With the fast research progress of tumor molecular biomarkers, more and more findings have been used for tumor diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and curative effect surveillance, which is an important embodiment of translational medicine.

Key words: tumor, biomarker, translational medicine
