Genetic Testing in Breast Cancer: Innovations in Diagnosis and Treatment addresses the urgent need for novel, minimally invasive diagnostic techniques to accurately identify breast cancer early and monitor treatment efficacy, focusing particularly on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This comprehensive volume analyzes the latest research and developments in genetic testing, covering strategies like next-generation sequencing and the Sanger method. It highlights their potential to revolutionize early diagnosis and personalized treatment plans. The book also discusses challenges and opportunities, providing insights into hereditary mutations, genetic counseling, and clinical practice integration.

Serving as a valuable resource for students, researchers, oncologists, pharmacologists, and healthcare professionals, it includes preclinical and clinical case studies that illustrate the practical applications of genetic testing for various breast cancer subtypes, including TNBC and HER2-positive breast cancer. The editors aim to advance treatment and improve patient outcomes through cutting-edge genetic testing techniques.

Dr. Manzoor Ahmad Mir holds a Master's in Zoology from HNBG Central University and completed his Ph.D. in Immunology at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh. His research focuses on cancer biology, combination therapy in breast cancer, and tuberculosis immunology. Dr. Mir has published over 50 high-impact research papers and book chapters. He has authored more than 15 books with international publishers of repute. He serves on the editorial boards of prestigious journals. He is a member of several scientific organizations, including the American Association of Cancer Research and the Royal British Society. He has received the TARE Fellowship and the SRFP-2019 from the Indian Science Academies. Dr. Mir teaches Cancer Biology and Immunology at the University of Kashmir, where he heads the Department of Bioresources.
