An Illustrated Guide to Cancer Biology

An Illustrated Guide to Cancer Biology offers a comprehensive exploration of the fundamentals of oncological molecular biology and provides valuable insights into topics such as cancer cell metabolism, migration, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, immunity chemotherapeutic drug mechanisms, and the role of RNA in cancer. With 35 chapters covering a wide array of subjects, including Hanahan and Weinberg's hallmarks of cancer, tumor heterogeneity, and hormone-dependent cancers, this guide serves as an indispensable resource in biology and biochemistry for practicing oncologists, researchers, and students alike. This book stands out not only for coverage of diverse topics but also for its unique approach to enhancing understanding through visual aids. For this purpose, graphical abstracts in Power Point of several topics discussed in the book can be downloaded from the web which can serve also for teaching purposes. With over 500 figures strategically interspersed throughout the text, this book offers readers a visually engaging journey through the intricacies of cancer biology. These illustrations ranging from molecular pathways to cellular interactions make navigating topics more accessible. Additionally, the inclusion of sections on repurposing drugs, tumor kinetics, and epigenetics further aids a deep understanding of cancer biology. Through clear illustrations, accessible language, and a chapter on basic molecular biology, An Illustrated Guide to Cancer Biology empowers its audience to navigate the complexities of cancer research and treatment with confidence and insight. - Contains more than 500 figures and a graphical abstract in Power Point, simplifying the understanding of cancer biology. - Combines molecular features with clinical approaches to support practicing oncologists. - Provides detailed descriptions of old and new developments in cancer biology, including hypoxia, ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species), PPAR (Peroxisome Proliferator- Activated Receptors), alternative drug treatments, immunology, and a thorough analysis of the complex relations between cancer and the tumor microenvironment.
