Contents:
h Introduction; Overview of cancer biology; The burden of cancer; Nature and nurture in oncogenesis; A DNA replication and the cell cycle; Growth signalling pathways and the new era of tatgeted treatment of cancer; Oncogenes; Tumor suppressors; Cell death; Senscence, telomeres and cancer stem cells; Genetic instability, chromosomes and repair; There is more to cancer than genetics; Cell adhesion in cancer; Tumor immunity and immunotherapy; Tumor angiogenesis; Cancer chemistry - designing new drugs for cancer treatment; Biologically targeted agents from bench to bedside; The diagnosis of cancer; Treatment of cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy; Caring for the cancer patient; Systems biology of cancer; Glosary; Answers to questions; Index
Summary: The Molecular Biology of Cancer, Stella Pelengaris & Michael Khan This capturing, comprehensive text, extensively revised and updated for its second edition, provides a detailed overview of the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development of cancer and its treatment. ""Bench to Bedside"": A key strength of this book that sets it apart from general cancer biology references is the interweaving of all aspects of cancer biology from the causes, development and diagnosis through to the treatment and care of cancer patients -- essential for providing a broader view of cancer and its impact"
