Therapy For Cervical Neoplasia Research Articles

Response to the letter “DNA microarrays will be instrumental in the future diagnosis of cervical dysplasia and neoplasia”, by P. K. Wright (doi:10.1093/annonc/mdi109): prospective and controlled trials are required to evaluate the relevance of DNA microarrays with regard to diagnosis and therapy of cervical neoplasia

We thank Paul Wright for his comment [1]. We are also convinced that the use of biochips will open up new dimensions in diagnostic and therapeutic practice in the future [2]. The DNA microarray technique holds the promise of revolutionizing future medicine unlike any other technology that was available in the past [3]. The possibility of monitoring simultaneously the expression of thousands of genes or proteins in one experiment will hopefully give us a global insight into cancer biology on a molecular basis.
