Clinical Cancer Genomic Medicine: Translational and Applied covers all major aspects of genetics and genomics in cancer development, diagnosis, and management, and their use in the clinical setting. The book explores not only the genetic basis of cancer, but also the role genomics plays in understanding the molecular basis of disease and how it can aid in diagnosis and treatment. Sections discuss the basics of oncogenomic and emerging technologies and specific cancer types, such as breast, gastrointestinal, ocular, skin, and pediatric. The book also includes knowledge on diagnostic cancer genomic techniques, surgical approaches, and ethical, legal, and social implications.

This is a valuable resource for oncologists, clinicians, researchers, healthcare workers, and members of the biomedical field who need to understand more about the benefits of genetics and genomics for cancer and their applications in the clinical setting.

  • Presents comprehensive information on applied and translational cancer genetics and genomics
  • Discusses current, evidence-based clinical practice in cancer genomic medicine
  • Provides readers with updated information on molecular genetics and genomics to raise awareness and improve treatment outcomes

Professor Kumar has considerable previous experience in writing and editing books and journals related to genetics and genomics. His books include Genomics and Clinical Medicine and Genomics and Health in the Developing World. He founded and leads the new open access journal Applied and Translational Genomics, published by Elsevier. He has published 40 articles in the journals literature. Professor Dhavendra Kumar is a Visiting Professor, Genomic Policy Unit, Faculty of Life Sciences and Education, The University of South Wales and Consultant in Clinical Genetics at the University Hospital of Wales, Institute of Medical Genetics, Cardiff University, Cardiff, United Kingdom. He is one of the Consultants for the All Wales Medical Genetics Service and the lead Clinician for Clinical Cardiovascular Genetics. After qualifying in Medicine from the King George’s Medical College, University of Lucknow, India, he completed postgraduate training in Pediatrics with an MD. Since 1980 he has pursued a career in Medical Genetics in the UK. In 1990 he became a Diplomate of the American Board of Medical Genetics. He is a Fellow of the American College of Medical Genetics (FACMG) and as well as Royal Colleges of Physicians (FRCP-London and FRCP-Ireland) and Pediatrics and Child Health (FRCPCH-UK).In 2015, he was conferred with the higher degree of DSc by his Alma Mater, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow (UP, India) based on his life-time contributions and achievements to genetic and genomic applications in medicine and health.Professor Maher is an international authority in clinical cancer genetics and genomics. His vast experience and in-depth knowledge of basic genetics and molecular biology in key cancer family syndromes are unparallel. He would closely supervise and guide on the development of this important volume in the series.
