One in two of us will develop cancer at some point in our lives and yet many of us don't understand how cancers arise. How many different kinds of cancer are there? What treatments are available? What does the future hold in terms of developing new therapies? This book demystifies cancer by explaining the underlying cell and molecular biology in a clear and accessible style. It answers the questions commonly asked about cancer such as what causes cancer and how cancer develops. It explains how DNA makes proteins and how mutations can corrupt those proteins. It also gives an overview of current therapies and how treatments may advance over the next decades, as well as explaining what actions we can take to help prevent cancer developing. Understanding Cancer is an accessible and engaging introduction to cancer biology for any interested reader.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Once upon a time it was fair to say that most people knew little of science. After all, scientists spent years learning their job so it's clearly tough going and, by and large, the rest of the world could get by knowing nothing of superconductivity or the origins of the universe. But increasingly our daily lives have come to be dominated by science and part of that revolution has been the ever-expanding reach of television and the internet as sources of information. It's as though, unwittingly, we've all signed up to the Open University. And, it should be said, when it comes to science this has all been helped by a growing awareness amongst those in the trade that they have an obligation to let the world know how they while away their days'--.
