Cancer Biomarkers in Body Fluids – Biomarkers in Proximal Fluids (2019) Gabriel D. Dakubo

Description

The ability to measure and monitor cancer biomarkers in “body fluid biopsy” should greatly impact oncologic practice. This book, the third in the series, details cancer signatures in non- or minimally circulating body fluids including saliva, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, exhaled breath condensate, nipple aspirate fluid, gastric and pancreatic juice, stool, urine, and prostatic, peritoneal, and cerebrospinal fluid. These proximal fluids are enriched with biomarkers, especially those emanating from cells of the proximal tissue, supporting primary prevention and early detection efforts.
