Precision pathology of cancer is a new frontier - a systemic
diagnostic approach to provide specific therapeutic targets and
genetic and metabolic information for the treatment of patients. Not
only are cancers extremely diverse but there is also heterogenetic
variation among patients with the same cancer; owing to differences in
genetic makeup and metabolic levels, a drug may work in one patient
but be toxic in another. This text covers both basic concepts (the
role of the precision pathologist, ethical issues, molecular basis,
tools used in precision pathology, and specimen procurement) and
clinical practice (the precise genes/pathways, ongoing clinical
trials, therapeutics, pharmacogenomics, pharmacoproteomics, and
pharmacometabolomics) in precision pathology of cancer. Covers both
the conceptual bases and the clinical applications Enables
pathologists, haematologists, and medical oncologists to apply
Precision Pathology to their daily clinical practice Covers the whole
range of cancers in practical detail
