Seventeen full colour infographics present detail about specific biomarkers, including FOXL2, GATA3 and SOX10, pulling out information about expression in tissues and prognosis. Expanded with new biomarkers and the removal of biomarkers that are no longer in common use, each entry in this concise new edition follows a standard structure for quick and easy access by busy readers.
