Introduction

Cancer Genes is a comprehensive list of the most critical genes known to contribute to cancer imitation and progression. The book delves into their location on each chromosome, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms of cancer gene dysregulation and genetic mutations which provide cancer cells with an advantage during each stage of tumorigenesis. The reference will familiarize readers with the location of cancer genes and equip them with the necessary information to identify relevant gene expression targets for research aimed at preventing the disease.

The book is divided into two volumes focusing on cancer-causing genes found in chromosome pairs 1-12 (volume 1), and chromosomes 13-23 (volume 2). A key features of the book is a detailed reference list for advanced readers. The compilation is therefore a quick and handy reference on cancer causing genes for researchers, medical professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the genetic basis of cancer.

Audience:

Researchers (genetics, molecular biology and life sciences), medical professionals (oncologists), and anyone interested in understanding the genetic basis of cancer.

Preface

Cancer is a disease that affects millions of people worldwide, and the research for its cure has been ongoing for decades. In recent years significant progress has been made in identifying specific genes that are associated with an increased risk of developing cancer. In the continuation of our exploration of cancer-causing genes, we present volume 2 of our book. This volume picks up where volume 1 left off and delves into the genetic mutations that are located on chromosomes 13-22, as well as the X and Y chromosomes. We delve into the latest research on these genes, and the ways in which they contribute to cancer development. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the cancer-causing genes located on chromosomes 13-22, as well as the X and Y, and serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, medical professionals, and anyone interested in the genetic basis of cancer. Together, both volumes provide a complete and in-depth understanding of the cancer-causing and their location on each chromosome.
