Series: Horizons in Cancer Research
BISAC: MED062000

In this compilation, an overview of recent achievements in clinical and biosensor technology in the diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is provided. Various aptasensors such as optical, electrochemical and mass-sensitive are presented along with a novel approach for the recognition of cancer markers by molecular imaging methods based on atomic force microscopy, single molecule force spectroscopy and topography and recognition imaging.
The authors review the strategies used to screen potential antimelanoma drugs, especially those involved in evaluating drugs in cancer cell lines, in vitro and in vivo, as well as in silico tests used for drug selection.
Following this, a study is presented focusing on gastroenteropancreatic carcinoids tumors, rare slow-growing lesions that derive from primitive stem cells of the gut.
The authors explore the influence of Traditional Formosan medicine on cancer therapy through a literature review and expert opinion. Three clinical experiences of using Formosan medicine for cancer therapy are discussed: acupuncture, herb, and Formosan medicine tongue diagnosis.
The concluding research utilizes the extensive pipelines of the Vienna RNA package for 2D RNA structure prediction, and the result exposes a satisfactory illustration and narration of the predicted RNA structures.
