Since there is no abstract available we provide the first paragraph.
Important advances have been made over the last two decades in translating robust conventional research into clinical practice. But it seems that chance for further substantial improvement in patients' oncological outcomes is now modest if we continue the same traditional strategy based single genes and proteins research. Moving from reductionist to network biology and from single gene sequencing to whole exome and whole genome sequencing and to integrative omics analysis we are now entering into the clinical cancer genome epoch.
