Proteomics in Cancer Research covers both the basic principles of proteomics along with detailed presentations of new and emerging technology that represent promising breakthroughs in cancer prevention and treatment. The topics covered In most cases, applications of methods in basic and translational cancer research that are discussed in the text represent the first uses of these proteomics approaches to study any disease.
Critical issues that readers in cancer research need to understand are covered in detail, The unique proteomic features that characterize cancers offer new opportunities for disease prevention and treatment. Despite intense interest, however, proteomics is just beginning to become a part of the cancer research mainstream, as relatively few cancer researchers have training in proteomics methods and approaches. This book, therefore, is both a timely and an essential guide that will help readers understand key concepts of proteomics and use its methods to search for ways to both cure and prevent cancer.
