The development of the first vaccine for the prevention of cancer came 30 years after Harald Zur Hausen first hypothesized that the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) might be associated with cervical cancer. In those 30 years, much progress has been made in the diagnosis, treatment and now prevention of cervical cancer. In a special issue of Disease Markers twelve articles explore the epidemiology of HPV, testing strategies for HPV infections, new HPV detection methods and other potential biomarkers that might prove useful in cervical cancer diagnosis. Further articles address the emerging research o

Biologic markers - indicators of biological exposure or change - offer the promise of early detection of disease caused by environmental exposure. Researchers have used these markers to discover indications of pulmonary damage from low-level ozone, a finding with serious implications for health professionals and environmental regulators. "Biologic Markers in Pulmonary Toxicology" is a comprehensive study of this use of biologic markers. Focusing on the respiratory tract as an entryway for airborne pollutants, this volume reviews new ways of measuring markers, the need for markers to indicate d

DNA methylation is an epigenetic process that occurs when a methyl group binds to one of DNA’s four bases, cytosine. These changes are responsible for controlling the activity of genes by turning them off. DNA methylation patterns differ dramatically between healthy and diseased tissue and thereby can serve as biomarkers, opening a window into earlier detection of disease. Editor Martin Widschwendter (Institute for Women’s Health, University College London) emphasizes that, ’The concept of early detection of tumors before they spread and become incurable, represents one of th

Non-Invasive Surrogate Markers of Atherosclerosis details the scientific and clinical support for using non-invasive imaging modalities to evaluate the presence of surrogate markers of atherosclerosis, in conjunction with traditional methods of diagnosing cardiovascular disease. This new book covers the topic completely and explores some of the following:

This volume explores the genomics of cancer. Contributions explain how advances in biomedical research in the 1990s launched the genomics era - we are no longer satisfied to study a gene or gene product in isolation, but rather we strive to view each gene within the complex circuitry of a cell. In rapid succession, this mindset has invigorated the analysis of all molecular entities, from the genome, to transcripts (transciptome) and proteins (proteome).
