9780849363795: Modeling of Cancer Genesis and Prevention

Synopsis

This book presents a comprehensive review of the interaction between cancer research and mathematical methods for both investigators in the field and newcomers just entering it. The book's primary focus is on the use of computer-assisted mathematical modeling in carcinogenesis and cancer prevention. The first two chapters include a general presentation of the carcinogenesis and anticarcinogenesis molecular mechanisms, followed by a discussion of mathematical models of triggers for gene regulation. A description of the prediction of both carcinogenicity and mutagenicity using quantum mechanical, topological or physico-chemical indices is presented, as well as a discussion of the QSAR analysis of carcinogenesis-inhibiting compounds (known as blocking or suppressive agents).
