内容説明

This new edition maintains the objective of the previous editions of providing a relatively brief but comprehensive introduction to the initiation, development, and treatment of cancer. Current techniques in cell and molecular biology have been widely applied to the study of cancer, and the resulting new developments are introduced here. In areas such as genetic and chromosome changes, growth factors, and the biology of human leukemia, where there has been great activity, the relevant chapters have been extensively rewritten, but all the chapters have been reviewed and brought up to date.

目次

  • 1. What is cancer?
  • 2. The spread of tumours
  • 3. Epidemiology of cancer
  • 4. Inherited susceptibility to cancer
  • 5. Structure of DNA and its relationship to carcinogenesis
  • 6. Chemical carcinogenesis
  • 7. Radiation carcinogenesis
  • 8. Viruses and cancer
  • 9. Oncogenes and cancer
  • 10. Chromosomes and cancer
  • 11. Growth factor signalling pathways in cancer
