Oncogenomics

Oncogenomics: From Basic Research to Precision Medicine offers a thorough survey of precision medicine and its diagnostic and therapeutic applications in oncology. Gathering contributions from leading international researchers in the field, chapters examine recent translational advances in oncogenomic methods and technologies, detailing novel molecular classifications of tumors as well as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for various types of cancers including pancreatic, gastrointestinal, breast, hematological, lung, osteotropic, genitourinary, and skin cancers. This book provides a foundation for clinical oncologists, human geneticists, and physicians to develop new targeted cancer treatments and incorporate genomic medicine into clinical practice, with particular attention paid to non-invasive diagnostic techniques such as the liquid biopsy and molecular characterization of solid malignancies.

• Provides clinical oncologists, human geneticists, physicians, and students with a thorough understanding of current diagnostic and prognostic applications of genomic methods and technologies to a variety of solid malignancies
• Employs current knowledge in oncogenomics towards developing therapeutic interventions for various cancer types, detailing novel molecular classifications of tumors as well as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of pancreatic, gastrointestinal, breast, lung, hematological, osteotropic, genitourinary, and skin cancers among others
• Features a team of internationally recognized researchers and physicians in clinical oncology, oncogenomics, and precision medicine
