内容説明
Cancer Biology provides a clear, concise and authoritative introduction to the biological principles that underlie the causes and treatment of cancer, drawing on the author's extensive research and teaching experience to guide students through this complex subject. The study of cancer encompasses cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, epidemiology and medical sciences and this text brings together these diverse areas. The emphasis is on human aspects, with underlying principles illustrated by specific examples which are supplemented with data from other species where appropriate.
