Principles of Molecular Diagnostics and
Personalized Cancer Medicine
Tan & Lynch
The role of molecular genetics in the treatment of
malignancy continues to grow at an astonishing
rate. Today’s subspecialized multidisciplinary
approach to oncology has incorporated advances
in targeted molecular therapy, prognosis, risk
assessment, and prevention—all based at least
in part on molecular diagnostics and imaging.
Inside this cutting-edge resource, readers can
explore broad, comprehensive perspectives on
the current trends in molecular diagnosis of
cancer and personalized cancer medicine.
Authoritative discussions share insights from noted experts in cancer
research, clinical trials, molecular diagnostics, personalized therapy,
bioinformatics, and federal regulations. From the basic mechanisms of
carcinogenesis to the most advanced molecular screening, staging, and
treatment technologies, readers will discover clear and straightforward
discussions directly relevant to patient diagnosis and care.
Features:
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!
