Résumé

This concise text examines cancer causation and biology as well as the biology underlying cancer treatment. Thoroughly updated and reorganized with five new chapters, the Fourth Edition emphasizes new development in molecular biology, hormone therapy, and the pharmacology of anti-cancer drugs. Features updated coverage of the basic science of radiotherapy and experimental radiation in addition to expansive coverage of new drugs developments.

Excellent introduction to the basics of molecular biology, epidemiology, and carcinogenesis.
Synthesizes knowledge of scientific developments and current research in cancer.
Covers new scientifc advances in: chromosome analysis techniques; molecular pathways and DNA damage; contribution of viruses to cancer susceptibility; tumor suppressor genes/ oncogenes; studies of tumor progression & metastasis; clinical radiotherapy; causes of drug resistance in chemotherapy; monoclonal antibody therapy.
Provides clinicians with easily understandable information about state-of-the-art science and therapeutic applications.
