Summary:
Circulating Tumor Markers of the New Millennium introduces new tumor
markers, including cytokines, growth factors, oncoproteins, and
mutated suppressor proteins involved in the signal transduction
pathway, the cell cycle, and apoptosis. The book also reviews other
new tumor markers - angiogenic factors, adhesion molecules, and
molecules that are associated with certain types and properties of
tumor cells - and describes ELISAs developed for most of them. These
new tumor markers differ from currently used tumor markers in that
they have the potential for target identification to facilitate more
effective target therapy. They might also be used to detect tumors at
early or benign stages and to predict prognosis, assisting in the
design of therapeutic strategy. This book was written to introduce
investigators to the new tumor markers and to encourage investigators
to further investigate the clinical applications of these markers.
