Overview of Molecular Biomarkers in Cancer

This book presents recent advancements, challenges, and clinical implications of molecular biomarkers in various cancers. This book highlights the clinical applications of biomarkers are extensive for cancer risk assessment, screening and early detection of cancer, accurate diagnosis, patient prognosis, prediction of response to therapy, and cancer surveillance and monitoring response.

Progress in Predictive Biomarkers and Immunotherapy

It also explores the progress of predictive biomarkers as an adjunctive tool to tumor immunotherapy in effectively identifying the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors and discusses their future directions in achieving precision immuno-oncology.

Genomic Approaches and Computational Analysis

Further, the book examines the combination of next-generation sequencing and advanced computational data analysis approaches in the understanding of the genomic underpinnings of cancer development and progression.

Phytochemicals and Epigenetic Targets

Towards the end, the chapter discusses the role of some commonly investigated phytochemicals and their epigenetic targets that are of particular interest in cancer prevention and cancer therapy.

Intended Audience

It is a must for researchers as well as advanced students and physicians in the field of cancer and clinical oncologists.
