From the Back Cover
The study of cancer encompasses cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, epidemiology and medical sciences and this text brings together these diverse areas. The emphasis is on human aspects, with underlying principles illustrated by specific examples which are supplemented with data from other species where appropriate.
The new edition has been updated throughout with new material on chemoprevention, DNA repair, telomerase, apoptosis, signal transduction, cell adhesion, angiogenesis and new treatments. A new appendix provides descriptions of 15 selected cancers, with data on cancer risks and survival rates, and notes on risk factors and metastasis.
Features
* Comprehensive up-to-date coverage of key topics in cancer biology
* A human emphasis including principles of cancer treatment
* Accessible single author text, with boxes, chapter summaries and clear two-colour diagrams
* Updated coverage of diet and prevention, DNA repair, telomerase, apoptosis, signal transduction, cell adhesion, angiogenesis and new treatments
* Extended and updated references, a new list of abbreviations and improved glossary
* New appendix on features of 15 selected cancers, including breast cancer and leukaemia
Cancer Biology is an essential text for students of cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and biomedical sciences. It will also be valuable to postgraduate students moving into cancer research.
