Core Tip

Core Tip: Here we describe our opinion on molecular genetic subtyping of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas (esophageal, gastric, and colon adenocarcinomas). The identification of combined molecular and genetic subtypes gave us insights to understanding gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma biology, determining aims for future clinical research, and helping to simplify the implementation of a unified system for subtyping gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas.
