Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology: Primer of the Molecular Biology of Cancer
Drawn from the content of the new Ninth Edition of Cancer:
Principles and Practice of Oncology, this unique publication brings
together the basic scientific information on the molecular biology
of cancer. The format is designed to be useful both to research
scientists interested in the study of cancer and to oncologists who
need to understand these new developments that are having a
profound impact on the care of patients with cancer. Leading
scientists and clinicians in the field of molecular biology and
clinical oncology have lent their expertise to this project. The
text has been divided into two parts. Part I includes thirteen
chapters that deal with the general principles of the molecular
biology of cancer that provide the basic framework for an
understanding of the behavior of cancer cells. Part II includes an
up-to-date description of how this new information has affected the
understanding of the biology of 19 of the most common cancers, with
an emphasis on how these new findings have been translated to
impact the management of cancer patients. This distinctive text
provides a single concise source of information for scientists and
clinicians in this rapidly developing field.
