ABSTRACT

Molecular Biology of Cancer has been extensively revised and covers heredity cancer, microarray technology and increased study of childhood cancers.  It continues to provide a detailed overview of the process which lead to the development and proliferation of cancer cells, including the techniques available for their study.  It also describes the means by which tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes may be used in the diagnosis and in determining the prognosis of a wide variety of cancers, including breast, genitourinary, lung and gastrointestinal cancer.
