In this book one of America''s most eminent scientists explains to the general reader the step-by-step process by which cancers arise, and more importantly, how they spread.Robert Weinberg explains how normal genes control the conventional growth of the cell, how, in their mutated form, they enable cancers to arise, and why these genes have such life-and-death power over us. Drawing from information that simply was not available until recently, One Renegade Cell explains this insidious disease as no other book as ever been able to do.
