Gastrointestinal malignant neoplasms disguised as pneumatosis cystoids intestinalis
Rationale: Pneumatosis cystoids intestinalis (PCI) is a rare disease in which gas develops in the mucosa or submucosa of the digestive tract. The etiology and pathogenesis of this disease, at present, remain unclear, and gastrointestinal malignant ...

Biomarkers and molecular diagnosis of gastrointestinal and pancreatic neoplasms [PDF]
Standard protocols for the diagnosis of neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract are based on histopathologic analysis in combination with clinical information. With the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, our understanding of the contribution of genetics to human disease has increased exponentially.
