The few general oncology text books are generally out of date. Single papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom comprehensive; these are more often preliminary reports on a very limited number of patients.

In Oncogene-Directed Therapies, prominent investigators and clinicians, several of them pioneers in the field, summarize what is known about oncogenes and oncogenesis-in a balanced blend of fundamental science, basic research, experimental ...

The second edition of this authoritative text details major advances and developments in the field, such as the identification of many new tumor suppressor genes and the striking progress in understanding signal transduction pathways ...

The Second Edition of The Oncogene and Tumour Suppressor Gene FactsBook has been completely revised, updated, and expanded by 60%.

The book was divided into six main sections: 1. HER2 Carcinogenesis: Etiology, Treatment and Prevention; 2. DNA Repair Mechanism and Cancer; 3. New Approach to Cancer Mechanism; 4. New Role of Oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor Genes; 5.

An oncogene is a modified gene, or a set of nucleotides that codes for a protein and is believed to cause cancer. This book brings together the latest research in this field from around the world.

General Description of the Volume: Oncogenes have become a central focus of cancer research. All involved in this discipline will find this volume an invaluable aid in developing protocols needed for their research.

Oncogene proteins are proteins coded by oncogenes. They include proteins resulting from the fusion of an oncogene and another gene. This new book presents the latest research in the field from around the world.

How is growth controlled in normal cells? How are the growth control mechanisms perturbed in cancer cells? This book provides an up-to-date description of research aimed at resolving these questions.
