Oxford Handbook of Introduction to the Cellular and Molecular Biology of Cancer, Fourth Edition
Oxford University Press, July 2005, Pages: 554
Great breadth of coverage in one volume: covers all aspects of cancer, in a concise and affordable format
Provides a comprehensive introduction to the initiation, development, and treatment of cancer
Chapter are written by experts in each field, giving a state-of-the-art summary of each topic
Extensive references provide links to all the relevant literature, facilitating further study
New to this edition
This edition has undergone major changes to reflect rapid progress and new developments. Eight new chapters have been added, including coverage of DNA repair, epigenetic events, the cell cycle, cell immortalisation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, animal models, the genome, transcriptome and proteome, radiotherapy and molecular radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy. All the material from the previous edition has been extensively revised and new authors have contributed to some chapters.
This new edition of Introduction to the Cellular and Molecular Biology of Cancer provides a comprehensive overview of cancer biology, covering 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.
Within the broad scope of the book, each topic is reviewed authoritatively by experts in the field, and the accompanying bibliographies allow rapid access to the relevant current literature. The book covers topics extending from the molecular alterations found in cancer cells and their causes to the current range of approaches to treatment. Since the publication of the previous edition in 1997 there has been unprecedented progress in cancer research: this is reflected by an extensive revision of all the material, and the addition of eight new chapters, covering DNA repair, epigenetic events, the cell cycle, cell immortalisation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, animal models, the genome, transcriptome and proteome, radiotherapy and molecular radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy.
The fourth edition of this popular book will serve as a text for both undergraduate and postgraduate use and also as an introduction for clinicians and scientists new to the field.
Readership: Undergraduates and postgraduates taking cellular and molecular biology courses; medical students; oncologists.
