Synopsis

Cancer Cytogenetics, 3rd Edition, offers a comprehensive, expanded, and up–to–date review of recent dramatic advances in this area and incorporates a vast amount of new data from the latest basic and clinical investigations. Edited by two leading experts, and now involving a new panel of international experts, the book offers an authoritative description of neoplastic processes at the chromosomal level of genomic organization. Researchers in cytogenetics, medical and molecular genetics, cellular and molecular biology, cancer research, clinical oncology, and hematology will find this reference both thorough and authoritative.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The preeminent book on cancer cytogenetics now in a valuable new edition

Like its successful predecessors, Cancer Cytogenetics, Third Edition continues to offer authoritative coverage of neoplastic processes at the chromosomal level of genomic organization. Now updated and expanded, this new edition includes detailed information on the most recent advances in the field, incorporating a vast amount of new cytogenetic as well as molecular genetic data from the latest basic and clinical investigations.

Edited by two leading authorities, who are now aided by a panel of internationalexperts, this new edition has been updated to include:

• Greatly expanded coverage of solid tumors

• Enhanced coverage of acute and chronic myeloproliferative disorders

• The latest findings on acute and chronic lymphoproliferative disorders

Cancer Cytogenetics, Third Edition is a valuable resource for researchers in a wide range of fields, including cytogenetics, medical and molecular genetics, cellular and molecular biology, oncology, and hematology. With its complete coverage of thecytogenetic mechanisms underlying neoplasia, and always with a keen eye on the clinical consequences of the various acquired genetic aberrations, this text will alsobe an indispensable reference for all clinicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.

Synopsis:

"Cancer Cytogenetics" examines the chromosome abnormalities that characterize human tumour cells, the pathogenetic mechanisms they reveal and the clinical implications of these changes. The volume provides extensive coverage of the entire field of neoplasia-associated chromosomal changes, including both the specific, primary abnormalities characteristic of different tumor types, and the secondary aberrations accrued during disease progression. Examples of the molecular consequences of the cytogenetic aberrations are included in conjunction with the description of individual abnormalities. In addition, the volume emphasizes those aspects of cancer cytogenetics that are of particular relevance to the clinician.
