From basic principles to insights into pioneering research, this
introductory textbook provides the fundamentals of cancer biology
that will enable students of biology and medicine to enter the
field with confidence. It opens with a discussion of global cancer
patterns, how cancers arise, and the risk factors involved. A
description of the normal signalling pathways within cells then
explains how DNA mutations affect proteins and what this means for
the development and behaviour of tumours. Later chapters discuss
methods for tumour detection, biomarker identification and the
impact of genome sequencing, before reviewing the development of
anti-cancer drugs and exciting current advances in treatment. With
50% new material, including two new chapters on genetic analysis of
cancer and cancer chemotherapy, improved pedagogy, examples of
revolutionising technologies in drug design and delivery, and
useful online resources, this textbook offers an accessible and
engaging account of cancer biology for undergraduate and graduate
students.
