Description

Understanding Cancer from a Systems Biology Point of View: From Observation to Theory and Back starts with a basic question, why do we sometimes observe accelerated metastatic growth after resection of primary tumors? Next, it helps readers understand the systemic nature of cancer and how it affects treatment approaches and decisions. The book puts together aspects of cancer that many readers have most likely never combined, using unfamiliar, novel methods. It is a valuable resource for cancer researchers, cancer biologists, mathematicians and members of the biomedical field who are interested in applying systems biology methodologies for understanding and treating cancer. Explains the systemic nature of cancer and how it affects decisions on treatment Brings a variety of methods together, showing, in detail, the logical approach to finding answers to complex questions Discusses the theoretical underpinnings of cancer as a systemic disease, providing the reader with valuable information on applicable cases
