The books in The Biology of Cancer series reveal information about the causes of the disease; the DNA changes that result in tumor formation;
ways to prevent, detect, and treat cancer; and detailed accounts of specific types of cancers that occur in particular tissues or organs. Books in this series describe what happens to cells as they lose growth control and how specific cancers affect the body. The Biology of Cancer series also provides insights into the studies undertaken, the research experiments done, and the scientists involved in the development of the present state of knowledge of this disease. In this way, readers get to see beyond “the facts” and understand more about the process of biomedical
research. Finally, the books in The Biology of Cancer series provide information to help readers make healthy choices that can reduce the risk of cancer.
