Drawing on years of significant scientific advances and clinical developments, the editors of this third edition of Principles of Molecular Oncology have thoroughly updated the highly praised first and second editions and added new chapters to reflect the knowledge emerging from research on genomics, proteomics, chemoprevention strategies, pharmacogenomics, new molecular targets, therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, and innovative cytotoxic and cytostatic small molecular-weight molecules. Comprehensive and intellectually stimulating, this book not only clearly elucidates the fundamentals of this dramatically advancing field, but also interprets the vast and often complex molecular data available. It fills a much neglected gap between information and knowledge, and holds out the hope of new anticancer strategies that will reduce the process of carcinogenesis, cancer cell proliferation and significantly reduce metastasis.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews of the third edition:
"This is an update of a book of individual reviews of molecular oncology topics written by specialists in the field. . The intention is to present a broad overview of the concepts in molecular medicine and tumor biology that form the basis of many ongoing drug discovery projects . . The book is written for a broad audience, including students, house officers and clinical fellows, beginning researchers in cancer biology, and even practitioners of oncology." (Alexander C Minella, Doody's Review Service, 2008)
"The book provides a comprehensive and in-depth view of molecular basis of cancer. . it is a valuable resource of knowledge for both clinical and experimental oncologists. Those who are interested in the basic understanding of great progress which has been achieved in molecular oncology in last year will enjoy this book as well." (C. Altaner, Neoplasma, September, 2008)
