Cancer Genes Volume 1

Cancer Genes is a comprehensivelist of the most critical genes known to contribute to cancer imitation andprogression. The book delves into their location on each chromosome, providingvaluable insights into the mechanisms of cancer gene dysregulation and genetic mutationswhich provide cancer cells with an advantage during each stage oftumorigenesis. The reference will familiarize readers with the location of cancergenes and equip them with the necessary information to identify relevant geneexpression targets for research aimed at preventing the disease. The book is divided into two volumes focusing oncancer-causing genes found in chromosome pairs 1-12 (volume 1), and chromosomes13-23 (volume 2). A key features of the book is a detailed reference list for advancedreaders. The compilation is therefore a quick and handy reference on cancercausing genes for researchers, medical professionals, and anyone interested inunderstanding the genetic basis of cancer.
