Genetics For Oncologists: The Molecular Genetic Basis Of Oncologic Disorders (remedica Genetics)

About this title

Review

"Cancer genetics is now a specialty in its own right, but there is a need for oncologists, surgical and non-surgical, to have some knowledge of this expanding area. This small book gives all that the practicing oncologist requires. Each genetic condition is clearly described under similar headings including clinical features, screening, age of onset, epidemiology, inheritance, chromosomal location, gene involved, function of the protein produced by the gene and the possibility of genetic testing." Professor Anthony Howell, University of Manchester

Synopsis

During the past decade enormous progress has been made in our understanding of the molecular genetic basis of many oncological disorders, and such information is already beginning to impact on clinical practice. This book provides oncologists with a concise summary of what is presently known about the genetic basis of monogenic and polygenic oncologic disorders. The glossary provides a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of genetic terminology and techniques. With its quick reference format, "Genetics for Oncologists" is designed for use by busy practitioners.
