Main description:

Advances in Cancer Biomarkers Research provides a thorough and detailed description of cancer biomarkers for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutics in several cancer types. The book presents a compendium of topics related to current advanced research, along with fundamental knowledge that will help readers fully comprehend the field of cancer biomarkers. Topics discussed include such the role of genetic mechanisms, epigenetics, DNA and microRNA in different cancers, signaling pathways and exosomes. In addition, the book discusses biomarker research applied to several cancer types, such as head and neck, urological, lung, bone tumors, hematological and neurological malignancies and breast cancers.

This 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 and treatment.
