Features: In experimental oncology research, cell culture has become increasingly important in the post-genomics era—because as a pan-genomic analysis method, it enables researchers to analyze the impact of genomic alterations on cells. Each chapter of this book covers common clinical tumors, including lung tumors, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, myoepithelial carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, lymphoma, and neuroendocrine tumors. The content includes pathology, cell culture methods, analysis of the challenges in establishing cell lines, applications, and method modifications. Additionally, the book provides a directory of reagent and equipment suppliers. The book features the following:
★ Written by renowned experts, ensuring reliability and authority.
★ Provides detailed descriptions of tumor cell line establishment, amplification, and identification, making it highly readable.
★ Discusses drug treatment, selection, differentiation, detection of malignant cells, hazards, and applications of cultured cells, making it highly practical.
★ Introduces safety precautions, implicitly emphasizing the "human-centered" principle.
★ Presents detailed preparation methods for various special culture media and reagents, with no reservations.
This book is part of the series on biological laboratory techniques. It is a valuable reference for university students, researchers, clinical doctors, and others working in oncology, pathology, cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, and pharmacology.
