Synopsis
"Cancer occurs because cells develop mutations that confer a growth advantage. Different subpopulations within the tumor can possess different mutations, and new mutations occur as the cancer progresses. This can allow the tumor to develop resistance to chemotherapy and is a major therapeutic challenge. This book examines this quasi-evolutionary process involved and how work in both molecular and computational biology is shedding light on it. Highlights include: Cancer Stem Cells and Clonal Evolution - Relevance of Sub-Clonal Driver Events to Cancer Evolution and Management - Tumour Heterogeneity--The Achilles Heel for Cancer Immunotherapy - Bioinformatics Approaches to Defining Subclonal Evolution in Cancer Medicine"--
