About the Book

This exciting new reference focuses on topics relating to present and future laboratory assays for cancer diagnosis. These techniques are useful for diagnosing disease; the early detection and screening of patients with specific types of cancer; the early detection of metastatic disease in cancer patients; and hereditary diseases of cancer. Coverage includes circulating protein and other serum markers, cellular markers, and nucleic acid molecular markers. Cancer Diagnostics: Current and Future Trends is a valuable and cutting-edge reference for clinical laboratory scientists interested in diagnostics, as well as physician oncologists and scientists who wish to learn about present and emerging diagnosis and evaluation of various cancers.
