Abstract

Precision medicine is used to treat gastrointestinal malignancies including esophageal, gastric, small bowel, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. Cutting-edge assays to detect and treat these cancers are active areas of research and will soon become standard of care. Colorectal cancer is a prime example of precision oncology as disease site is no longer the final determinate of treatment. Here, the authors describe how leveraging an understanding of tumor biology translates to individualized patient care using evidence-based practices.
