Molecular Biology of Cancer has been extensively revised and covers heredity cancer, microarray technology and increased study of childhood cancers. It continues to provide a detailed overview of the process which lead to the development and proliferation of cancer cells, including the techniques available for their study. It also describes the means by which tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes may be used in the diagnosis and in determining the prognosis of a wide variety of cancers, including breast, genitourinary, lung and gastrointestinal cancer.
The book describes the effects of anticancer agents on nucleolar ultrastructure; the role of chromosomes in the causation and progression of cancer and leukemia; the replication, modification, and repair of DNA.
The third edition of this repected textbook has been extensively revised and updated by the authors and editors to achieve the same objectives as the two earlier editions -- to provide a relatively brief but comprehensive introduction to ...
The Lucke ́ frog herpesvirus (RaHV-1) causes renal adenocarcinoma in the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens. Interestingly, metastasis of this tumour occurs as a function of ambient temperature; frogs kept at 28 develop many metastases ...
This comprehensive text provides a detailed overview of the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development of cancer and its treatment.

This book explores possible genetic treatments that can suppress cancer cells that have formed tumors and it presents the details of the isolation and characterization of new human cancer genes that have recently been identified.
The book contains color illustrations and charts; and the included CD-ROM contains dozens of video clips, animations, molecular structures, and high-resolution micrographs. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR.
To gain a complete overview of what is presently known about molecular carcinogenesis would prove to be a very daunting task for those not already steeped in this complex subject.
