Description
This text offers a wealth of information regarding early detection. All aspects of molecular marker studies with emphasis on major epithelial cancer sites are presented and several molecular applications for early detection of cancer are described. Identification of defined genetic changes in cells may enable cancer to be detected early enough to increase survival of cancer patients. This text provides the information you need to span the gapy between an understanding of the cancer process and the reduction of cancer morbidity and mortality.
