Abstract

Miroarrays offer a powerful approach for the analysis of gene expression that can be used for a wide variety of experimental purposes. However there are several types of microarray platforms that are available. Microarray represents a potentially powerful tool for better understanding of the role of the microenvironment on tumour biology. The present study is done to explore the various approaches of microarray, importance of biomarkers in microarray, and its significance in treatment of different types of cancer. The aim of this paper was to explore the various applications of microarray and its role in cancer biology.

Key words: Microarray, cancer, biomarker, microenvironment
