A focused, accessible introduction to this key aspect of cancer biology. It covers the individual cell signalling pathways that are known to be involved in cancer development, and, most important, includes the cross- interactions between the pathways together with the current therapeutic approaches. This is a 'must-have' for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying and researching within the field of cancer biology.
