An Introduction to DNA Microarray Technology Is Provide In New Book Cancer Diagnostics With DNA Microarrays

Posted on: Wednesday, 13 September 2006, 12:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c41999) has announced the addition of Cancer Diagnostics with DNA Microarrays to their offering.

This book is the first of its kind in dealing with direct clinical application of microarray data to oncology diagnosis, with the intention of speeding and specifying diagnosis, thus resulting in better treatment for cancer patients. Replete with examples and mini-cases, the book offers cancer researchers in private, pharmacologic, and governmental institutions, biomedical statisticians, and practicing oncologists concise, thoughtfully authored guidance on the use of microarray data and analysis as clinical tools. Some research-level readers may find certain introductory and review somewhat superficial, but these can be skipped over if necessary, and there is much useful, detailed information provided to further the understanding of the many aspects of microarray technology that can be applied to medical diagnostics in oncology.
