With an editorial board containing 11 Nobel laureates, this invaluable collection of high-quality articles on cancer biology is taken from the highly acclaimed R.A. Meyer's Encyclopedia.Clearly divided into three main sections, this ready reference covers molecular mechanisms, organ specific cancers, and therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.The articles are uniformly structured for easy of use, carefully designed to aids readers of all levels of expertise. To this end, each chapter includes a glossary of the most important keywords, a concise summary of the article and comprehensive literature references.
