Description
The practice of surgical oncology has seen significant change in the last decade with increasing movement away from radical surgery and greater emphasis on the new molecular therapies. This book brings together a team of distinguished surgeons and molecular biologists, many from the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, who provide a picture of the present state of molecular biology and its impact on cancer surgery. The first section describes molecular techniques in general, whilst the latter part of the book deals with the major body organs and the application of molecular theory in the management of cancer.
