An Immunological, Biochemical and Molecular Approach

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Concepts and Methodology in Cancer Diagnostics: An Immunological, Biochemical and Molecular Approach provides an exclusive combination of all basics and recent techniques, methodology, and advancements in the field of cancer diagnostics. With a strong focus on the procedures and techniques involved in cancer diagnostics, content also gives insights into the molecular tests required for different tumors for the administration of targeted drugs and precision medicine. In 11 chapters. The book also introduces the methods and technologies based on DNA and RNA based biomarkers, biochemical and immunological markers, genetic signatures, epigenetic changes and exosomes in blood, and tissue and body fluids. Readers will find a compilation of imperative topics and lists of the necessary materials and reagents needed, step-by-step instructions, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, as well as tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls. This book is a valuable resource for medical professionals and researchers who want to understand the concepts of validated protocols and methodologies in diagnosing cancer, its prognosis, and predictive value.
