Genetic Testing in Breast Cancer: Innovations in Diagnosis and Treatment explores the pressing demands in breast cancer care for advanced, less invasive diagnostic tools that facilitate early detection and effective monitoring of therapeutic progress. With a particular emphasis on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the book presents a thorough examination of the latest advancements in genetic testing, such as next-generation sequencing and the Sanger method. By analyzing these technologies, the volume demonstrates how they are fundamentally transforming both the early diagnosis process and the customization of treatment plans for individuals affected by breast cancer.
The book provides practical case studies, encompassing other breast cancer subtypes, including HER2-positive cases. It addresses the integration of genetic testing into clinical practice, discusses hereditary mutations, and underscores the importance of genetic counseling. The editors also highlight ongoing challenges and emerging opportunities in the field, ensuring that students, researchers, oncologists, pharmacologists, and healthcare professionals gain a comprehensive understanding.
