Preface

Today, cancer research is focused on determining how genome and proteome level
information may be useful as tools in prevention, diagnosis, and prognosis. The
development of “omics” technologies, such as proteomics and transcriptomics has
opened new research areas for scientists working on cancer research. This book
presents the latest advances in cancer genomics and proteomics focused on
identification of tumoral biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in the most
common human neoplasias including glioblastoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, and
breast, lung, prostate, and colorectal cancers. In addition, critical reviews of the
relevant roles of microRNAs, animal models and the application of gene regulatory
networks to validate potential therapeutic targets in cancer are also included.
Chapters in “Oncogenomics and Cancer Proteomics - Novel Approaches in
Biomarkers Discovery and Therapeutic Targets in Cancer” present comprehensive and
expert perspectives on the most common cancers from bench to bedside applications
by an international team of experts in the field. This edited collection is subdivided
into two sections titled: I) Genomic expression profiling in cancer, and II) Proteomic

expression profiling in cancer. Proteomic technologies based on two-dimensional
electrophoresis (2DPAGE and 2D-DIGE), or on isotope labeling methods followed by
mass spectrometry (MS) analysis applied to the identification of differential protein
expression in cancer are also discussed. This book will contribute greatly to the
scientific and medical community by providing up-to-date discoveries of
oncogenomics and their important roles in cancer translational research. It is intended
for students, scientists, clinicians, oncologists and other health professionals working
in the field of cancer research.
