TL;DR
Molecular profiling — the comprehensive analysis of genes, RNAs and proteins — is having a radical effect on the understanding of cancer.
Abstract
Molecular profiling — the comprehensive analysis of genes, RNAs and proteins — is having a radical effect on our understanding of cancer. The next step is to convert these findings into better diagnosis and treatment.

NatureGene expression profiling predicts clinical outcome of breast cancer
9,608 Citations2002Laura van ‘t Veer, Hongyue Dai +14 more
DNA microarray analysis on primary breast tumours of 117 young patients is used and supervised classification is applied to identify a gene expression signature strongly predictive of a short interval to distant metastases (‘poor prognosis’ signature) in patients without tumour cells in local lymph nodes at diagnosis, providing a strategy to select patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.

The gene-expression profile studied is a more powerful predictor of the outcome of disease in young patients with breast cancer than standard systems based on clinical and histologic criteria.
Nature reviews. CancerA census of human cancer genes
3,342 Citations2004P. Andrew Futreal, Lachlan Coin +6 more
A 'census' of cancer genes is conducted that indicates that mutations in more than 1% of genes contribute to human cancer.
Nature GeneticsGene expression–based high-throughput screening(GE-HTS) and application to leukemia differentiation
271 Citations2004Kimberly Stegmaier, Kenneth N. Ross +4 more
In screening 1,739 compounds, it is identified 8 that reliably induced the differentiation signature and, furthermore, yielded functional evidence of bona fide differentiation, indicating that GE-HTS may be a powerful, general approach for chemical screening.

A special diagnostic system for stage I ovarian cancer patients is shown to have similarly high accuracy, and expressions of peptides with relatively low m/z values in the dataset are shown to be better at distinguishing ovarian cancer cases from controls than those with higher m/Z values.
