In recent years, a number of molecular pathways and cellular
processes that are essential for normal vertebrate development have
been implicated in cancer initiation and progression. In this
volume, leaders in the field of cancer genetics and developmental
biology share recent insights into the importance of developmental
pathways for tumorigenesis. These discoveries provide important
avenues for innovative new approaches to treating some of the most
challenging developmental tumors.
Provides researchers an overview and synthesis of the latest
research findings and contemporary thought in the area
There are now a large number of molecular targeted therapies for
the treatment of cancer. Many of these therapies target pathways
that are essential for normal development. Therefore, this volume
provides an up to date and timely perspective on those pathways and
biological processes that hold the greatest promise for targeted
intervention.
