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, detail novel molecular classifications of tumors, and identify 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.

• 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
• Features a team of internationally recognized researchers and physicians in clinical oncology, oncogenomics and precision medicine
