2nd Edition
by Gary S Stein (Author)
A guide to recent insights into
the genetic and epigenetic parameters of cancer biology and pathology
and emerging clinical applications
The thoroughly updated second edition of The Biology and Treatment of Cancer, now titled Cancer: Prevention, Early Detection, Treatment and Recovery, goes
beyond reviewing the fundamental properties of cancer biology and the
relevant issues associated with treatment of the disease. The new
edition contains coverage of additional "patient centric" topics and
presents cancer biology with selection of topics, facts, and
perspectives written in easy-to-understand terms.
With
contributions from noted experts, the book explores recent advances in
the understanding of cancer including breakthroughs in the molecular and
cellular basis of cancer and provides strategies for approaching cancer
prevention, early detection, and treatment. The authors incorporate
recent information on the genetic and epigenetic parameters of cancer
biology and pathology with indications of emerging clinical
applications. The text offers a unique guide to cancer prevention, early
detection, treatment, and recovery for students, caregivers, and most
importantly cancer patients. This significant book:
- Incorporates
current insight into the genetic and epigenetic parameters of cancer
biology and pathology and information on emerging clinical applications
- Contains contributions from leaders in cancer research, care, and clinical trials
- Offers an accessible guide to an accurate and balanced understanding of cancer and the cancer patient
- Focuses on the importance of cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship
Written for medical students, students of cancer biology, and caregivers and cancer patients, Cancer: Prevention, Early Detection, Treatment and Recovery offers
an authoritative overview of the challenges and opportunities
associated with cancer biology, cancer research, and the spectrum of
clinical considerations.
