A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This informative and fully illustrated new textbook covers all aspects of cancer biology, from the cellular processes underlying tumorigenesis, all the way through to the development of new agents and strategies to improve cancer treatment and prevention. No prior medical knowledge is assumed, and each chapter provides an authoritative self-contained account. Uniquely, this book extends a broad net over the whole subject, and is not restricted to the ferociously advancing field of cancer genetics only. It describes how cancer is diagnosed and classified, how causes are identified, how tumours behave and how the flawed fundamental biological processes drive them. It explains how clinicians assess tumours, it explores well-established therapeutic options and evaluates the potential for innovative new treatments in the future. The text concludes with a helpful glossary of terminology. Every detail of information is clearly described from first principles and the book will, thus, provide an ideal introductory account for students of medicine, cell biology and pathology, as well as health-care professionals working on cancer and drug development.

Revue de presse

' ... this is a useful book. It will be used by students of clinical and medical oncology as scientific background'. British Medical Journal

'... informative, readable and well illustrated text'. British Journal of Biomedical Science

'... a surprisingly well-integrated and cogent survey of the field'. Clinical Medicine

'The book is very well illustrated with photographs, histology sections and diagrams. As an introductory text, the book achieves its mission very well. It would be particularly useful for predoctoral students in graduate training programs who have no real knowledge of medicine.' Oncology
