Clinical Applications of Noncoding RNAs in Cancer

Clinical Applications of Noncoding RNAs in Cancer summarizes the existing strategies, advances, and future opportunities on the role of noncoding RNAs in cancer patients. Established clinicians and researchers from all around the world share their views and expertise and provide readers with invaluable knowledge on the subject. This book provides a comprehensive collection of information on the utility of noncoding RNAs in the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of cancer. It also discusses the evolutionary significance of noncoding RNAs and how the molecular tools such as RNA-seq, RNA-FISH, ic-SHAPE, and quantitative real-time PCR help in the detection and elucidation of the functions of noncoding RNAs. Additionally, the challenges associated with noncoding RNA approaches and future developments are discussed. It is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, oncologists, clinicians, and other biomedical field members who want to learn more about noninvasive ways to diagnose and efficiently treat diverse cancer types.

He is currently on lien from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. Dr. Gupta did his postdoctoral training from the Ohio State University and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in the United States. Before joining the Banaras Hindu University, Dr. Gupta was an instructor at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in the United States. His current research is focused on uncovering the mechanism by which acidic microenvironment promote cancer growth. He is also working on cancer chemoprevention and on projects to elucidate the role of inflammatory pathways, cancer stem cells, exosomal microRNAs, and long noncoding RNAs in regulating tumor development. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles in highly prestigious journals. He has been honored with prestigious national and international awards. He has coedited special issues of scientific journals and three prestigious books. Currently he is an editorial board member on several scientific journals and an active reviewer on more than 80 journals. Dr. Kishore B.
