[Laboratory tests on cancer]

Extensive research on "Cancer" have been undertaken using inovative techniques. However, the knowledge and techniques gained from this research has not fully been introduced into clinical laboratories, except for analysis of tumor markers in the blood or in the cells and some oncogenes. In this symposium, we show some possibilities in transferring the new knowledge and techniques from research laboratories to clinical laboratories. These lectures will inspire us to introduce more tests on "Cancer" into the laboratories.
