It begins with an exploration of cancer biology, illuminating the genetic foundations of oncogenesis alongside the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving cancer progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. This resistance remains the foremost challenge in cancer care. Across 28 chapters, the book addresses precision medicine's role in overcoming drug resistance, the importance of biomarkers, the interpretation of genetic analyses, and the shift toward personalized oncology.
In addition, the book examines nanotheranostics' applications and mechanisms in cancer diagnosis and treatment, integrating them with precision oncology. It outlines the design, mechanism, and impact of nanoprecision medicine in cancer management. The final section considers the future of nanotheranostics in precision oncology and the challenges of translating these innovations from research to clinical practice. This comprehensive guide serves students, clinicians, researchers, and the pharmaceutical industry involved in nanomedicine, oncology, molecular biology, and precision medicine.

Maria Shabbir
Dr. Maria Shabbir is an Associate Professor at NUST with around 8 years of academic experience. She has PhD degree in cancer genetics from Quaid e Azam University and a Post-doc form the University of Wisconsin, USA. She has received multiple grants and have many publications in credit in the field of cancer genetics. Her research group aims to identify cancer genes, which are genes that when mutated contribute to cancer development by promoting tumor cell growth and by conferring upon a cancer cell the ability to evade the cell cycle and cell death checkpoints that would normally control their growth. I am also interested in the networks and pathways that contribute to tumor development and how cancer genes work together to promote tumor evolution.
