Beskrivning

For the most hard-to-treat tumours, future progress will require molecular diagnostics to detect cancer-causing mutations in healthy subjects, and new drugs or vaccines that prevent the progression process.Chapters of this book deal with the signalling pathways that control cell division, and changes in these pathways in cancer cells.
