Full Description
Initiation of cancer in the cell is experimentally related to the action of chemicals and radiation. In order to understand the first steps of this interaction, approved methods from quantum theory and solid state physics are applied in this book. Theoretical models are qualitatively applied. Known effects, like oncogene activation, anti-oncogenes and disturbances of the cell's self-regulation, are explained. The authors propose possible points of intervention in the cancer initiation process based on theoretical considerations.
