More DescriptionCellular and Molecular Biology of Cancer is intended to provide a relatively brief yet comprehensive overview of cancer biology that covers the current status of both research and treatment. For the student or new researcher the breadth of cancer research can appear daunting yet a broad understanding is essential for translation of laboratory findings into the clinic. Each topic is reviewed authoritatively by an expert in the field and the bibliographies provided allow rapid access to the relevant current literature. The fourth edition of this popular text covers topics extending from the molecular alterations found in cancer cells and their causes to the current range of approaches to treatment. This is intended as a textbook for both undergraduate and postgraduate use and as an introduction for clinicians and scientists new to the field. Since the third edition in 1996 there has been unprecedented progress in cancer research and the extensive revision and many new chapters in the new edition reflect this.
