Molecular Oncology

Molecular oncology is a medical specialty at the interface of medicinal chemistry and oncology that refers to the investigation of the chemistry of cancer and tumors at the molecular scale.
In molecular oncology are identified genes that are involved in the development of cancer. The researches combine diverse techniques ranging from genomics, computational biology, tumor imaging, in vitro and in vivo functional models to study biological and clinical phenotypes. The proteins produced by these genes may serve as targets for novel chemotherapy drugs and other cancer treatments, or imaging scans. Scientists use a range of techniques to validate the role of the novel candidate genes in the development of cancer. The ultimate aim is to translate these findings into improved treatment options for cancer patients.
Almost all human cells contain molecules called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The DNA is harboring the hereditary information, the genes. The genes are controlling processes like growth, cell division, and programmed cell death (apoptosis). In tumors, the cells became abnormal by damages and alterations of the DNA, which results in uncontrolled growth and cell proliferation. These alterations are usually complex and manifold.
Initially, the tumor cells divide locally defined. But when the tumor gets larger and acquires more and more genetic alterations, the tumor may grow invasive beyond the local boundary and become metastatic.
Modern techniques of molecular biology have allowed the identification of numerous of the genetic alterations responsible for the emergence of cancer. This knowledge can be used for the detection of tumor cells for diagnostic purposes. Consequently, many molecular markers are available for the detection of circulating tumor cells in the bloodstream. From our wide panel of analytic parameters we select for the appropriate combination depending on type of tumor and each specific case.
