Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics presents a fresh approach to the study of the molecular basis of cancer. Shows how an understanding of the molecular processes underpinning cancer can be directly applied to the development of new therapeutics, giving students a clear appreciation of how the theory translates to tackling the disease, Provides a carefully structured overview of the molecular mechanisms that regulate cell growth, and relates defects in these mechanisms to the onset of cancer, so that students can clearly see the link between the two, Draws on the latest research in this dynamic field and presents it with a unique clarity, making cutting-edge science readily accessible to students.
