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.
