Sommario/riassunto

Principles of Molecular Diagnostics and Personalized Cancer Medicine



The role of molecular genetics in the treatment of malignancy continues to grow at an astonishing rate. Today's subspecialized multidisciplinary approach to oncology has incorporated advances in targeted molecular therapy, prognosis, risk assessment, and prevention-all based at least in part on molecular diagnostics and imaging. Inside this cutting-edge resource, readers will explore broad, comprehensive perspectives on the current trends in molecular diagnosis of cancer and personalized cancer medicine. Authoritative discuss
