Springer - The Molecular Genetics of Lung Cancer Book

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer mortality in Western countries. This scientific text explores how inherited genetic variants interact with environmental factors, such as smoking, to change individual cancer risk. Through the study of DNA, RNA, and protein levels, this book examines the modern techniques and methods used to understand the mechanisms of lung tumorigenesis. It provides a detailed look at how molecular genetics can help clarify the complexities of cancer development. Readers will find information regarding the application of these new approaches to tumor classification, diagnosis, and prognosis. This resource is designed for those studying the biological processes and molecular foundations that drive lung cancer progression.
