    Gleaning information from more than 100 experts in the field of cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy worldwide, Cancer Biomarkers: Non-Invasive Early Diagnosis and Prognosis determines the significance of clinical validation approaches for several markers. This book examines the use of noninvasive or minimally invasive molecular cancer markers that are under development or currently in use. It deals with a majority of commonly prevalent cancers and can help anyone working in the health-care industry to recommend or develop early diagnostics, at-risk tests, and prognostic biomarkers for various cancers.

    It explores the practice of determining biomarkers by their characteristics and relative methodologies, and presents the most recent data as well as a number of current and upcoming early diagnostic noninvasive molecular markers for many common cancers. It also considers the sensitivity and specificity of markers, biomarker market, test providers, and patent information.

    Approximately 30-35 Cancer Specific Noninvasive Molecular Diagnostic Markers in a Single Volume

    The book details the general and technical aspects of noninvasive cancer markers. It covers imaging, cutting-edge molecular technologies for biomarker development, and noninvasive or minimally invasive sources of molecular markers, as well as quality control and ethical issues in cancer biomarker discovery. It also provides a detailed account of brain, head and neck, and oral cancer markers, and provides information on a number of gastrointestinal cancers, lung cancer, and mesothelioma markers.

    "This book gathers a unique collection of information on cancer biomarkers that will be an invaluable reference for those in the field. It is particularly commendable for its extensive use of tables listing biomarkers, their clinical applications, and the state of clinical validation each has received. By bringing this information together into a single book, the authors provide essential background for the formulation of new diagnostic approaches to individual cancer types not available elsewhere. Weighted numerical score: 81 - 3 stars."
