The Molecular Biology of Cancer

This comprehensive text provides a detailed overview of the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development of cancer and its treatment. Written by an international panel of researchers, specialists and practitioners in the field, the text discusses all aspects of cancer biology from the causes, development and diagnosis through to the treatment of cancer. The text offers in–depth coverage of traditional areas of study, while also discussing areas of controversy and emerging importance and highlighting future directions for research. “The explosion of information on the molecular biology of cancer, and its widespread and immediate availability via the internet, provides major challenges for those engaged in cancer treatment and research. A single up-to-date reference textbook on this topic is needed more than ever. This book will go a long way towards meeting this need, providing a valuable resource for a range of individuals and departments.” - Stan Kaye, Royal Marsden Hospital, London “Pelengaris, Khan, and the contributing authors are to be applauded. "The Molecular Biology of Cancer "is a comprehensive and readable presentation of the many faces of cancer from molecular mechanisms to clinical therapies and diagnostics. This book will be welcomed by neophyte students, established scientists in other fields, and curious physicians.” - Dean Felsher, Stanford University
