Preface
This book puts together excerpts from various writings by the author on biotechnology topics as they relate to cancer. It is meant for oncologists, scientists involved in research on cancer biology, and physicians in various specialties who deal with cancer. It will be useful for those working in life sciences and pharmaceutical industries, particularly those involved in the discovery of anticancer agents and drug delivery in cancer. Basics of various “omics” technologies and their application in oncology are described as oncogenomics and oncoproteomics. Because the book is organized according to technologies, only examples of application in cancers of various organs/systems are described in various c
