Looking at biomarker discovery for cancer research as a whole, this book includes information on biomarkers. It provides a comprehensive overview of the technologies involved in identifying cancer biomarkers. It also discusses regulatory and ethical issues, and the roles of protein networks, cell signaling, and tyrosine kinases.
The past five years have witnessed an unprecedented acceleration in the search for disease biomarkers, the lion's share directed toward biomarkers associated with the various forms of cancer. "Cancer Biomarkers: Technology and Discovery" provides a comprehensive overview of the technologies involved in identifying cancer biomarkers, which is crucial for designing new ways to diagnose, treat, and one day, cure this deadly disease. The book provides the reader with insight into the most recent discoveries, technologies, and applications for biomarker research and discusses existing biomarkers, potential biomarkers, the various technological platforms, regulatory and ethical issues, and the emerging roles of protein networks, cell signaling, and tyrosine kinases.

MAHMOUD H. HAMDAN, PhD, FInstP, is the head of the Mass Spectrometry and Separation Technologies Laboratory at GlaxoSmithKline in Verona, Italy. He is a coauthor of Proteomics Today: Protein Assessment and Biomarkers Using Mass Spectrometry, 2D Electrophoresis, and Microarray Technology, also from Wiley.
