Advances in Cancer Biomarkers Research provides a thorough and detailed description of cancer biomarkers for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutics in several cancer types. The book presents a compendium of topics related to current advanced research, along with fundamental knowledge that will help readers fully comprehend the field of cancer biomarkers. Topics discussed include such the role of genetic mechanisms, epigenetics, DNA and microRNA in different cancers, signaling pathways and exosomes. In addition, the book discusses biomarker research applied to several cancer types, such as head and neck, urological, lung, bone tumors, hematological and neurological malignancies and breast cancers.This will be a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, graduate students and members of the biomedical field who are interested in the potential of biomarkers in cancer research and treatment.

Rashmi Rana

Dr. Rashmi Rana has received her PhD in Biochemistry from National Institute of Pathology, ICMR affiliated to GGSIP University, where she developed new mass spectrometry methods for analyzing phthalates in semen. She did her post-doc at All India Institute of Medical Sciences on Evaluation of antibiotic side effects. Currently she works as consultant in the department of Research at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi. She received Young Scientist Award in Proteomics Conference held at Dubai, UAE. She was selected for Foundations of Clinical Research (FCR) 2022 run by Harvard University, USA. She is a Principal Investigator in four research projects related to dengue exosomal proteomics, role exosomes in glioma biology, theragnostic exosomes in glioma and transcriptomics analysis of pulmonary hypertension patients. Her main research interest is to quantitatively identify the protein signatures involved in human diseases including various cancers with state-of-the-art and highly sensitive mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches. Presently she works on identification of protein-based biomarkers for early diagnosis / post-treatment surveillance and therapeutics of brain tumor (Glioma) and biliary tract cancer.
