Publisher's Synopsis
Clinical Cancer Genomic Medicine: Translational and Applied covers all major aspects of genetics and genomic of cancer development, diagnosis, and management and the use of them in the clinical setting. It aims to provide readers with not only the genetic basis of cancer, but the role genomics play in understanding the molecular basis of the disease along with aiding diagnosis and treatment.The content is split into three parts: the first, Fundamentals of Cancer Genetics and Genomics, discusses the basics of oncogenomic and emerging technologies; the second, Clinical Cancer Genetics and Genomics, brings information on specific cancer types, such as breast, gastrointestinal, ocular, skin and pediatric; and the third, Clinical Cancer Genomic Medicine, encompasses knowledge on diagnostic cancer genomic techniques, surgical approaches, and ethical, legal, and social implications of cancer genomic testing.It is a valuable resource for oncologists, clinicians, researchers, healthcare workers and members of biomedical field who needs to understand more about the benefits of genetics and genomics for cancer and their application in clinical setting.
