Description
Advances in Cancer Biomarkers Research provides a thorough and detailed description of cancer biomarkers for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutics in several cancer types. The book presents a compendium of topics related to current advanced research, along with fundamental knowledge that will help readers fully comprehend the field of cancer biomarkers. Topics discussed include such the role of genetic mechanisms, epigenetics, DNA and microRNA in different cancers, signaling pathways and exosomes. In addition, the book discusses biomarker research applied to several cancer types, such as head and neck, urological, lung, bone tumors, hematological and neurological malignancies and breast cancers.This will be a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students and members of the biomedical field who are interested in the potential of biomarkers in cancer research and treatment.- Provides a unique combination of basic and latest advancements in the field of cancer biomarkers, with a strong interdisciplinary approach- Presents an updated roadmap for researchers, enabling them to learn the role of different biomarkers in cancer diagnosis and therapy and easily apply the knowledge gained to their work- Discusses the complex mechanisms and pathways associated with cancer biomarkers through case studies, examples and illustrations
