Molecular Genetics of Pediatric Solid Tumors: Basic Concepts and Recent Advances

Bridges the gap between advanced research and clinical practice
This book presents and overview of recent advances in molecular genetics of pediatric solid tumors.The first part of the book covers cytogenetics, cellular oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and molecular epidemiology.
The second part focuses on specific pathologies, with particular attention directed to molecular studies generating hypotheses on etiopathogenesis and disease progression mechanisms.
