Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Principles of Molecular Diagnostics and Personalized Cancer Medicine">Improve your understanding of…• The basic mechanisms of carcinogenesis— including material on cell proliferation, signal transduction pathways, cancer stem cells, and the interaction between genetics and environmental factors. • The most current molecular techniques —including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, single nucleotide polymorphisms, cancer cytogenomics and epigenetics, whole-genome assessments, and next- generation sequencing.• Molecular tests —including molecular screening, minimal residual disease detection, circulating tumor cell tests, molecular tumor staging, and molecular cancer prognosis assessment.• Imaging and screening technologies —including molecular imaging, genetic tests, biostatistics, and bioinformatics.• The molecular basis of therapy —including critical molecules as special treatment targets, particularly genes/DNA, RNA, micro RNAs, proteins/antibodies, and nanoparticles.• Molecular diagnostics – including updated molecular diagnostic approaches to common malignancies and role of pathology in targeted cancer management.• Targeted treatment – including personalized medicine and targeted therapy for commonly occurring malignancies— plus insights on new approaches to targeted drug discovery and the future of molecular oncology!
