Abstract

Abstract: Translational medicine is a new medical model that has emerged over the past 20 years and is dedicated to bridging the gap between basic and clinical research. At the same time, the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases, especially gastrointestinal endoscopy, have been rapidly developed. The emergence of new techniques for gastrointestinal endoscopy has changed the therapeutic spectrum of some diseases and brought huge benefits to patients. Targeted therapy has positively affected the individualized and precise treatment of patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer. The construction of a standardized biobank provides a strong guarantee for clinicians to conduct translational medical research. Translational medicine has brought good development opportunities, but it also faces challenges. The training of translational medicine researchers and the transformation of educational models require sufficient attention for further development.
