Description

"Cancerous Cell Transformation and the Microbiome: Profiling, Techniques, and Therapeutic Management" offers a comprehensive exploration of cutting-edge methodologies and clinical applications in microbiome research. This book focuses on the intersection of microbiome science with cancer therapy, bioinformatics, and environmental influences, making it a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students in biomedical and life sciences. The book is structured into three parts: tools and techniques for microbiome analysis, the role of the microbiome in cancer therapy, and the impact of diet, environment, and epigenetics on microbiome–tumor interactions. Topics include sampling strategies, AI-driven data analysis, microbiome-based biomarkers, and therapeutic interventions, with contributions from experts across academia and industry. This book equips the academic audience with both foundational and advanced insights into microbiome research. It supports interdisciplinary learning, fosters translational thinking, and provides practical knowledge for designing experiments, interpreting data, and developing novel therapeutic strategies.

Key features

• Presents state-of-the-art tools such as AI-driven data analysis, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics, enabling researchers to explore microbiome complexity with precision.
• Highlights the role of the microbiome in cancer detection, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, offering translational insights for biomedical and clinical research
• Examines how diet, pollutants, antibiotics, and epigenetic mechanisms shape microbiome–tumor interactions, supporting holistic approaches to cancer prevention and therapy
