Frontiers of Cancer Biology: Current Trends in Cancer Research presents the latest research in cancer, which is advancing day by day. This book provides an introduction to cancer genetics, as well as the roles of genomic instability, oncogenes, proto-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and DNA damage and repair in relation to cancer. It then goes on to discuss viral genomics and cancer, epigenetics and cancer, cancer genetics, gene therapy in precision medicine. Finally, this book reviews the future direction of cancer genetics. Frontiers of Cancer Biology: Current Trends in Cancer Research is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals working in cancer biology, as well as academics that want to keep up to date with the field.
