LEARNING MATERIALS IN BIOSCIENCES MOLECULAR A...

This textbook takes you on a journey to the basic concepts of cancer biology. It combines
developmental  evolutionary and cell biology perspectives  to then wrap-up with an integrated
clinical approach. The book starts with an introductory chapter  looking at cancer in a nut
shell. The subsequent chapters are detailed and the idea of cancer as a mass of somatic cells
undergoing a micro-evolutionary Darwinian process is explored. Further  the main Hanahan and
Weinberg Hallmarks of Cancer are revisited. In most chapters  the fundamental experiments that
led to key concepts  connecting basic biology and biomedicine are highlighted. In the book's
closing section all of these concepts are integrated in clinical studies  where molecular
diagnosis as well as the various classical and modern therapeutic strategies are addressed. The
book is written in an easy-to-read language  like a one-on-one conversation between the writer
and the reader  without compromising the scientific accuracy. Therefore  this book is suited
not only for advanced undergraduates and master students but also for patients or curious lay
people looking for a further understanding of this shattering disease
