Role of Biomarkers in Cancer Diagnosis and Therapeutics offers a thorough exploration of the critical roles biomarkers play in cancer detection, diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. The book is divided into three parts: the first focuses on established and emerging biomarkers like PSA and CEA, detailing their biochemical characteristics and clinical relevance. The second section examines metabolic pathways utilized by cancer cells, highlighting key enzymes and their therapeutic potential. The final part discusses innovative strategies targeting cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair mechanisms, including synthetic lethality through PARP inhibitors. This essential resource provides researchers and clinicians with insights into novel metabolic targets and cutting-edge treatment strategies. By addressing current applications and future challenges, including the integration of AI and multi-omics approaches, the book equips readers with actionable knowledge to advance personalized cancer care and navigate the dynamic landscape of oncology.
