Principles of Molecular Oncology

By Karen H. Antman

Book Overview

Drawing on years of significant scientific advances and clinical developments, the editors of this third edition of Principles of Molecular Oncology have thoroughly updated the highly praised first and second editions and added new chapters to reflect the knowledge emerging from research on genomics, proteomics, chemoprevention strategies, pharmacogenomics, new molecular targets, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, and innovative cytotoxic and cytostatic small molecular-weight molecules. Comprehensive and intellectually stimulating, this book not only clearly elucidates the fundamentals of this dramatically advancing field, but also interprets the vast and often complex molecular data available. It fills a much neglected gap between information and knowledge, and holds out the hope of new anticancer strategies that will reduce the process of carcinogenesis, cancer cell proliferation and significantly reduce metastasis.
