Description
Cancer exposomics is an emerging field seeking to understand how environmental exposures across a person's lifetime contribute to cancer development. Exposomics emphasize the role of external and internal environmental influences, including pollutants, diet, lifestyle, infections, and the microbiome, in carcinogenesis. This approach leverages advanced technologies like spectrometry, bioinformatics, and data analysis to map complex exposure-disease relationships. By uncovering the environmental causes of cancer, exposomics can inform prevention strategies, early detection, and targeted interventions, shifting treatment to proactive health protection.
Cancer Exposomics and Environmental Influences on Carcinogenesis explores multi-omics and its application in the exposomics of cancer. It serves as a vital resource for researchers, bridging the gap between scientific research and practical applications in cancer prevention and treatment. This book covers topics such as biology, environmental science, and medical technology, and is a useful resource for medical and healthcare workers, oncologists, engineers, academicians, researchers, and environmental scientists.
Author's/Editor's Biography
Ramya Raghavan (Ed.)
Ramya Raghavan
is Assistant Professor at Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence, India. Dr Raghavan’s research interests include Genetics, Biostatistics, Biophotons, Epigenetic factors Intellectual disability, Assistive Technologies. Her recent editorial work on a book dedicated to advancing cancer treatment through spatial omics approaches underscores her commitment to innovation. As an experienced editor specializing in medical and scientific publications, Dr. Raghavan possesses a unique ability to bridge complex scientific concepts with broader societal impact. Her expertise extends to the critical intersection of the exposome and Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). Dr. Raghavan's work underscores how a holistic understanding of environmental exposures, from the molecular level to population-wide influences. Currently working on various early developmental programming projects, aligning with the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) paradigm and also addressing health disparities and equitable approach to disease prevention.
