Cancer cells differ from normal cells by their microenvironment, altered (epi)genomes, as well as gene and protein expression. The characterization of such changes in tumors and tumor stages is essential for understanding the mechanisms of tumor progression and the definition of molecular markers for diagnosis and prognosis. Tumor heterogeneity in space and time determines therapy success and patient survival. Therefore, precision medicine approaches in cancer research need to address the following key questions:

- tumor risk stratification with multimodal biomarkers
- mechanisms of tumor progression and therapy failure
- therapy response prediction using noninvasive approaches.
