FROM THE BACK COVER: 

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) has become an essential tool in
the diagnosis and management of a variety of solid tumors and hematologic
malignancies in the clinical setting, as well as an aid in the
identification of particular genetic disorders. 

Introduction to Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization provides a solid
groundwork in the basic principles and techniques of FISH and covers in
detail the applications of this technology to cancer in humans, including
tumorigenesis, prostate and breast tumors, myeloid leukemias, and
lymphoproliferative malignancies. 

The final section of the book is devoted to the applications of FISH
techniques to genetic analysis.  This incorporates radiation biodosimetry
in chromosomal aberrations, genetic toxicology, and multiprobe methods for
detecting chromosomally defective sperm in humans and mice, plus rapid
prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal aneuploidies and detection of fetal trisomy. 

Edited by two leading basic and clinical investigators in the field, with
state-of-the-art contributions from expert subspecialists, and featuring
over 200 color illustrations, Introduction to Fluorescence in Situ
Hybridization is an essential reference for clinicians and investigators in
oncology, genetics, and cytometry.
