Biomedical Informatics for Cancer Research
In the past two decades, the large investment in cancer research led to identification of the complementary roles of genetic mutation and epigenetic change as the fundamental drivers of cancer. With these discoveries, we now recognize the deep heterogenei

Cover Illustration: An image of matrix production by fibroblasts, showing the extracellular matrix and cell adhesion structures that play a key role in cancer cell behavior and metastasis. Indirect immunofluorescent images, of NIH-3T3 cells (murine fibroblasts), were acquired during the cellular process of extracellular matrix deposition. Nuclei are shown in blue while extracellular fibronectin matrix fibers (red) and cellular adhesion structures (integrin in green) can be seen co-localizing in yellow. Image was acquired after 4 days of matrix production. Image kindly provided by Dr. Edna Cukierman of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.

Michael F. Ochs dedicates this volume to Erica Golemis Over half of our lives together so far, forget the asymptotic limit, let’s go for all of our lives together. John T. Casagrande dedicates this volume to Yolee Casagrande Her continuous support and encouragement in all aspects of my life are greatly appreciated. I would like to especially thank her for encouraging me to pursue my “creative” side, which has resulted in this volume. Ramana V. Davuluri dedicates this volume to Adinarayana Davuluri I owe a lot to my father, whose commitment encouraged me to go to school. His loss to cancer inspired me to pursue medical research in cancer.
Acknowledgments
Many people dedicated significant effort to making this volume possible. I would like to thank Alisa Moore, who keeps my endle
