This is a revised and updated edition of a text used in
undergraduate courses on cancer biology. It covers everything from
the molecular basis of cancer to clinical aspects of the subject,
and has a lengthy bibliography designed to assist newcomers with
the cancer literature. An introduction acquaints students with the
biological principles of cancer and the human dimensions of the
disease by considering genuine cases of cancer in fictionalized
letters. Other chapters discuss cancer pathology, metastasis,
carcinogenesis, genetics, oncogenes and tumor suppressors,
epidemiology, and the biological basis of cancer treatment. Also
included are an appendix with descriptions of common forms of
cancer, a glossary of cancer-related terms and colour plates to
illustrate the pathology of many of the types of cancer discussed
in the text. Upper-division undergraduates with a background in
freshman biology and chemistry, as well as beginning graduate
students will find this a valuable text.
