About

Cancer is perhaps the most myth-riddled disease known to medicine. Many of these myths stem from actual scientific theories that have been twisted and distorted through years of retelling. In this book, molecular biologist Maria Kondratova of the Curie Institute in Paris cuts through the misconceptions to offer readers a clear, science-based understanding of cancer and qurrent approaches to its diagnosis and treatment. Her work shows how molecular oncology has transformed our fundamental knowledge of genomics and cellular regulation into life- saving drugs and diagnostic tools. While cancer is undoubtedly a serious subject, this isn't just a book about illness and death. Rather, it's a testament to life itself-in all its complexity, vulnerability, and beauty.

About the author

Maria Kondratova has a PhD in biology. Since 2014 she has worked at the Curie Institute in Paris, France, one of the largest cancer research centers in Europe. Her current research interests are molecular oncology and immunology.

Advances in Cancer Research
Volume 68 of <b>Advances in Cancer Research</b> continues the tradition of publishing up-to-date reviews and "hot" topics in cancer research. This volume begins with a "Foundations in Cancer Research" article by Harald zur Hausen that reviews his years of research on the idea that cancer can be triggered by infection. The structure and function of the cytokine receptor superfamily and its association with leukemias are discussed in depth by James Ihle. Marcia Hall and Gordon Peters review the evidence indicating that genetic abnormalities hinder the function of certain cyclins and their inhibitors. The most widely studied protooncogene, c-<i>myc</i>, is reviewed by Marie Henriksson and Bernhard Lüscher&#x3b; the chapter focuses on the function of c-<i>myc</i> as a transcription factor rather than on the effects of gene translocation and activation on malignancies. Ham Werner and Derek LeRoith present data on the role that insulin-like growth factors play on cell growth and regulation. In the final chapter, Olli-P. Kallioniemi and Tapio Visakorpi investigate the field of prostate cancer and, more importantly, the biological reason and natural history behind the growth of this cancer.
