This text is designed to be used for an undergraduate course on cancer. It covers everything from the molecular to the clinical aspects of the subject, and has a lengthy bibliography designed to assist newcomers with the cancer literature. An introduction acquaints students with the biological principles of cancer and the human dimensions of the disease by considering genuine cases of cancer in fictionalized letters. Other chapters discuss cancer pathology, metastasis, carcinogenesis, genetics, oncogenes and tumor suppressors, epidemiology, and the biological basis of cancer treatment. The book includes an appendix with a description of selected cancers. A glossary of cancer-related terms is included. Upper-division undergraduates with a background in freshman biology and chemistry, as well as beginning graduate students will find this a most useful text.

After introducing students to the basic biological principles of cancer, this new updated edition of an established textbook progresses to the human dimensions of the disease by considering actual cases of cancer. Other chapters discuss cancer pathology, metastasis, carcinogenesis, genetics, oncogenes and tumor suppressors, epidemiology, and the biological basis of cancer treatment. Also included are an appendix with descriptions of common forms of cancer and a glossary. First Edition Pb (1998): 0-521-59695-5

Damjanov, Ivan

Prevention of Cancer presents the latest research on key factors believed to defend against the occurrence of cancer. Chapters focus on the major cancer risk factors, such as smoking, sun exposure, lifestyle and nutrition, genetics, and environmental contributors. This book also outlines steps readers can take to lower their risk for cancer, and special attention is given to what cancer survivors can do to decrease their chance of a relapse.
