Overview

A comprehensive review of the use of global gene expression profiling to understand human tumors. The authors focus on the analysis of human tissue samples for a variety of cancers, including breast, colorectal, lung, renal, ovarian, bone, and brain tumors, among others. A primer on the technology and its novel analytical methods. Contains over 40 color images. Explains both the theory and practice of comprehensive gene expression profiling. Timely and topical, Expression Profiling of Human Tumors: Diagnostic and Research Applications offers every oncologist, pathologists, and cancer surgeons an essential introduction to the most promising new high-throughput investigative approaches in molecular biology-technology that is already dramatically reshaping the future of cancer research, diagnostic pathology, and clinical oncology.

Reviews

This timely and topical book provides cancer researchers, oncologists, pathologists and cancer surgeons with an essential introduction to the most promising high-throughput investigative approach in molecular biology today... (biotech-online.com) ...written clearly and in great detail with excellent often colorful illustrations which make them very easy to follow and very understandable...a major contribution to the field of expression profiling of human tumors for both these in the fields as well as those wanting to learn about this technique and its applications.
