Produktbeschreibung

Through a variety of mechanisms, cancer cells provide the biomarker material that can lead to their own detection, which then grants clinicians the opportunity for non-invasive body fluid and tissue analysis able to indicate the presence of tumors or the level of tumor burden. In Tumor Biomarker Discovery: Methods and Protocols, experts in the field present detailed chapters focused on the use and development of panels of biomarker analytes while covering subjects such as nucleic acids and protein-based technologies, metabolic profiling by analytic means or spectroscopy, as well as study designs for biomarker discovery and validation. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) series format, chapters include brief introductions to the topics, lists of the necessary materials or reagents, step-by-step laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and authoritative, Tumor Biomarker Discovery: Methods and Protocols is an ideal guide to the technologies that can be used to discover and validate tumor biomarker panels suitable for the presymptomatic early detection of cancer.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This well-illustrated book is an excellent resource on nucleic acid and protein-based technologies and metabolic profiling by analytic means or mass spectroscopy as well as for study designs for tumor biomarker discovery and validation. The audience includes both researchers interested in the identification and development of new tumor biomarkers and clinicians who need to be familiar with these new technologies in order to ... treat cancer patients. In addition to researchers and clinicians, students interested in tumor biomarkers will find this book extremely useful." (Omer Iqbal, Doody's Review Service, January, 2010)
