Biomarkers in Cancer Detection and Monitoring of Therapeutics (Paperback)

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

Dr. Ranbir Chander (RC) Sobti is Emeritus Professor at Punjab University, Chandigarh, and Honorary Scientist at the Indian National Science Academy. He started his career as a cytogeneticist and progressed to molecular biology and disease processes of cancer, COPD, AIDS, metabolic syndrome, and kidney diseases. He is a Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Sciences India, Indian National Science Academy, National Academy of Medical Sciences, National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Canadian Academy of Cardiovascular Diseases Royal Society of biology and international Association of Cancer Research. Dr. Sobti has participated in several book projects, including Elsevier’s Advances in Animal Experimentation and Modeling; Biomarkers in Cancer Detection and Monitoring of Therapeutics; Molecular Medicine and Biomedical Research in the Era of Precision Medicine; One Planet, One Health, One Future; Probiotics; and Public and Environmental Health.

Dr. Awtar Krishan PhD is a world-renowned scientist. He obtained his PhD from Panjab University (1962) and the Univ. of Western Ontario, Canada (1963) in Cytogenetics and Anatomy. From 1965 to 1977, he was at the Sidney Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School as Head of the Tissue Ultrastructure and Experimental Pathology Labs. He has developed flow cytometric techniques for rapid analysis of DNA content by hypotonic propidium iodide, monitoring of drug retention and resistance, and more recently for monitoring hormone receptor expression in archival tumors. He is currently Director, Analytical Cytometry Laboratory, at University of Miami.
