Introduction to Cancer Biology

What's new in introduction to cancer biology?
“The new edition of Introduction to Cancer Biology has been well worth waiting for. It develops logically from the previous edition and brings our current understanding of all aspects of the nature of cancer biology up to date. Central to the book are chapters dealing with DNA, oncogenes, tumour suppressor genes and signalling pathways.
What is a molecular biology course?
The course introduces the molecular biology of cancer (oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes) as well as the biologic hallmarks of cancer. The course also describes the risk factors for the major cancers worldwide, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, and stomach cancer.
Where does cancer start?
Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
Are mutations a fundamental principle of cancer biology?
A funda-mental principle of cancer biology with profound explicatory power had, indeed, been uncovered: mutations in various oncogenes and tumour suppressors loosened the shackles of intracellular regulators and brakes, propelling cancer cells into their pathological autonomy.
