The landscape of translational oncology has shifted dramatically over the past 10 years, characterized by the introduction of more-sophisticated molecular tools into the clinic and advances are being employed in genomic clinical trials that will examine the feasibility of matching a broad range of systemic therapies to specific molecular tumour characteristics. The authors review selected developments in translational cancer biology, diagnostics, and therapeutics that have occurred over the past decade and offer our thoughts on future prospects for the next few years.
