Biomarkers in Cancer Detection and Monitoring of Therapeutics

Molecular Biomarkers in Cancer Detection and Monitoring of Therapeutics, Volume One, Discovery and Technologies discusses how molecular biomarkers are used to determine predisposition, facilitate detection, improve treatment and offer prevention guidelines for different cancer types. This first volume in the series focuses on techniques and approaches recently developed to assist in the decision of which biomarker to use for specific conditions. Topics covered include circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA, exomes, tumor microenvironment, gene editing, artificial intelligence and robotics. In addition, the book discusses the development and applications of organoids and precision medicine.This book will be a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students and members of the biomedical field who are interested in the potential of biomarkers in cancer research. - Provides up-to-date information on current molecular biomarkers research for cancer- Presents basic research aspects and novel technologies applied in the discovery of new biomarkers- Discusses several technologies, including artificial intelligence, robotics, data mining, gene editing, omics and their applicability for specific cancer types
