Expert Consult - Online and Print
Author:Mendelsohn J.
Publisher:WB Saunders
ISBN:9781455740666
Pages:704
Product type:Book
Successfully fighting cancer starts with understanding how it begins. This thoroughly revised 3rd Edition explores the scientific basis for our current understanding of malignant transformation and the pathogenesis and treatment of cancer. A team of leading experts thoroughly explain the molecular biologic principles that underlie the diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions now being used in clinical trials and practice. Incorporating cutting-edge advances and the newest research, the book provides thorough descriptions of everything from molecular abnormalities in common cancers to new approaches for cancer therapy. A new full-color format expedites reference, and a new bonus Expert Consult Edition website enables you to search the full text, download all of the book’s images for your personal use, and review periodic updates.
New to this edition
