Klappentext

Metabolomics of Bladder Cancer: An Emerging Application offers insights into the latest research methodologies and potential therapeutic applications. The book examines how applied research on the discovery of metabolomic biomarkers with prognostic and predictive value is needed to stratify patients into different risk groups, minimizing overtreatment and the risk of drug resistance development. In eight chapters, the book gives an in-depth analysis of recent findings in both fundamental and applied research, with a focus on the metabolomics approach and its potential for identifying major metabolic pathways that characterize various diseases and physiological states. It intuitively leads from the discovery of biomarkers for bladder cancer, to the metabolisms of glutamine and fatty acids and finalizes with a chapter on the metabolic effect of cancer therapy. Overall, this book is a comprehensive and insightful resource for researchers, clinicians, and academic professionals interested in the latest developments in bladder cancer research.
