Biotargets of Cancer in Current Clinical PracticeSeries: Current Clinical Pathology
Bologna, Mauro (Ed.)
2012, 2012, XVI, 563 p. 100 illus., 57 in color.
ISBN 978-1-61779-614-2
Provides the latest information on the validation status of each novel biomarker
Covers the present debate on potential clinical use of newly discovered biochemical markers and on patentability of genetic information
Chapter authors are experts on the particular cancer type
Biotargets of Cancer in Current Clinical Practice presents an updated and reasoned review of the current status of knowledge concerning the major cancer types with a special focus on the current biomarkers, genes involved and the potential future targets of innovative therapies. The volume includes for each major cancer type, a comprehensive although concise discussion of epidemiology, affirmed and innovative biomarkers for diagnosis, and descriptions of the relevant genes for prognosis and (individualized) therapy through biotarget-specific new molecular treatments, with the latest information on the validation status of each novel biomarker. Individual chapters are dedicated to the major cancer types, plus a special chapter on metastasis. The present debate on patentability of genetic information applied to diagnostics and therapeutics of cancer is also discussed
