This volume is a continuation of the encyclopedic work entitled “Cancer Growth and Progression,” that was originally edited by Professor Hans E. Kaiser. As a tribute to the memory of Dr. Kaiser and his contributions to the field, this new edition is following his example of providing the most current information about cancer literature and comprehensive coverage of all aspects of tumor growth and progression.
This particular tome is divided into two sections: the first addressing general causes of oncogenesis such as environmental factors and tumor mechanisms; and the second addressing the oncogenic mechanisms of tumor in specific organs. This book is written and compiled by world renowned leaders in their respective fields and focuses on the most recent developments in basic oncogenesis. This definitive text will provide the practitioner, whether in research, academia or clinical practice, with a fount of easily accessible information on the most common tumors.
