Second Edition | Edited by Stella Pelengaris | Language: English | Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | ISBN-13: 978-1118430835 | Publication Date: March 13, 2013
This capturing and comprehensive text extensively revised and updated for its second edition offers a detailed overview of the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development of cancer and its treatment. A key strength of this book 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.
Written by an international panel of researchers, specialists, and practitioners in highly readable form, it would provide an excellent text for graduate and undergraduate courses in the biology of cancer, medical students, and qualified practitioners preparing for higher exams. For researchers and teachers in the field, special features include bullet points at the beginning of each chapter explaining key concepts and controversial areas; each chapter builds on concepts learned in previous chapters, with a list of key outstanding questions remaining in the field, suggestions for further reading, and questions for student review. All chapters contain text boxes that provide additional and relevant information.
