Molecular biology of cancer : mechanisms, targets, and therapeutics

Molecular Biology of Cancer: Mechanisms, Targets, and Therapeutics offers an accessible, engaging, and optimistic account of cancer biology for undergraduate and graduate students.

• Provides an engaging and manageable route into the complex subject of cancer biology
• Describes the theoretical basis of cancer biology and shows how this theory is applied to develop new cancer therapies, giving students a clear appreciation of how theoretical knowledge can be translated into therapeutic strategies
• Draws on the latest research in this dynamic field but presents it in a manner readily accessible to the student
• Available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is supported by online resources.

New to this edition

• The inclusion of additional primary data from the literature provides up-to-date information about this dynamic field of research.
• Figures to illustrate mechanisms of DNA repair.
• New topics covered include extrachromosomal circular DNA as major sources of oncogene expression and tumor heterogeneity, the use of errors in RNA transcription and splicing as a new source of neoantigens for vaccines, the application of artificial intelligence to cancer imaging, and expanded applications of CRISPR, to name a few.
• The expanded “Pioneers in the field” feature introduces students to thirteen inspiring molecular biologists working in the field from past to present.
