Sverre Heim and Felix Mitelman deliver a state-of-the-art review of how cancer cytogenetic analyses have contributed to an improved understanding of tumorigenesis as well as to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. The book also discusses how cytogenetics - the study of chromosomes - meets, interacts with, and cross-fertilizes other investigative technologies, including molecular somatic cell genetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book provides an impetus to think more deeply about the role chromosomes, and their abnormalities, play in health and disease, especially in neoplastic disorders. From which origins did cytogenetics develop? How did the finding of acquired chromosomal abnormalities in cells of leukemias and solid tumors influence our understanding of cancer as a biological process? How was information of this nature put to good use in the clinical management of cancer patients?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbnormal Chromosomes: The Past, Present, and Future of Cancer Cytogenetics\u003c\/i\u003e offers readers: \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA thorough introduction to ancient theories of disease, the advent of cellular pathology, and how a scientific interest in chromosomes developed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive exploration of the conceptual importance of Theodor Boveri and his somatic mutation theory of cancer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA detailed chronological resume of cancer cytogenetic discoveries during the 20th century\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn-depth discussions of the role of chromosome abnormalities, oncogenes, and tumor suppressor genes in leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors, together with a survey of what chromosome analyses have revealed about the clonal evolution of neoplastic cell populations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA discussion of the importance of pathogenetic classifications of neoplastic diseases, the role chromosome abnormalities play in this context, and which technological breakthroughs can be expected in chromosome-oriented cancer research\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbnormal Chromosomes: The Past, Present, and Future of Cancer Cytogenetics\u003c\/i\u003e was written for everyone with a scientific or clinical interest in cancer, especially how acquired chromosome abnormalities lead to neoplastic transformation.
