Understanding Cancer Biology: Genetics, Molecular Biology, and Cellular Signaling Pathways

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9789815352030

This book provides a comprehensive and current perspective on cancer research. It covers cancer biology through seven well-laid-out sections. Section I describes normal cell division, cellular homeostasis, and malignant cell transformation. Genetics, cancer epigenetics, cell cycle checkpoints, and growth-regulatory gene expression are covered in Section II. Section III discusses carcinogens, which cause cancer. Section IV describes molecular changes in cancer genes and signaling pathways, which are also employed to develop precise cancer diagnostics and treatments. Section V discusses tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, and therapeutic response, which depend on tumor cell-microenvironment interactions and their impact on disease. Section VI covers cancer diagnosis and newer, more targeted treatment. The post-genomic age and molecular methods have boosted cancer research. Section VII shows how molecular profiling, proteomics, metabolomics, and system biology may help comprehend this complex disease. This section also discusses the microbiome's role in cancer progression and therapeutic possibilities.

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.
