Steven M. Powell, MD, has assembled a hands-on collection of cutting-edge molecular methods for studying colorectal tumors. These readily reproducible techniques range from gross microdissection of specimens to specific molecular analyses. Here both the novice and experienced researcher will find productive chromosomal analyses, including comparative genomic hybridization and FISH assays, and revealing gene expression analyses, including immunohistochemical assays, Western blotting, and microarray assays. Eminently practical, with each technique presented as if the expert in the field who had perfected it were guiding the investigator, Colorectal Cancer: Methods and Protocols provides cancer investigators with a gold standard collection of all the key genetic, cellular, and molecular biological methods for analyzing colon cancer today.
