This famous classic has gained a worldwide reputation as the
source of definitive clinical information in the treatment of
cancer. Four sections present the essentials of molecular biology,
signal transduction, and immunology; updated information on the
cell cycle, cytogenetics, the metastatic process, causes of
cancer, and the principles of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and
surgery, as well as those related to molecular pathology, cancer
genetics, and biologic therapy; chapters on cancers of individual
organ systems, cancer prevention, imaging techniques, and
supportive and palliative care; and newer approaches in cancer
treatment, including cancer vaccines, gene therapy, and
immunotoxin therapy.
Synopsis
Recommended in the Brandon/Hill selected list of print books and
journals for the small medical library - April 2001 &
2003Acclaimed by the worldwide medical community as the ultimate
authority on cancer (JAMA), Cancer: Principles and Practice of
Oncology is now in its Seventh Edition. This completely revised,
updated classic reflects the latest breakthroughs in molecular
biology, cancer prevention, and multimodality treatment of every
cancer type.New chapters examine molecular biologic techniques
including proteomics, genomics, targeted therapies, RNA
interference, cDNA arrays, and tissue arrays. New sections discuss
bioinformatics and societal issues in oncology, including
regulatory issues, telemedicine, and international differences in
oncology. Coverage also includes new information on functional and
metabolic imaging, vaccines, and antiangiogenesis agents.A bound-

Book Description
Acclaimed by the worldwide medical community as the standard-
setting oncology reference, Cancer: Principles and Practice of
Oncology is now in its Fifth Edition. This new edition has been
extensively reorganized to integrate the groundbreaking advances
of molecular biology into the broad range of oncologic practice,
including cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.A new
introductory section - Essentials of Modern Oncologic Science -
provides a base of information on molecular biology, signal
transduction, and immunology. The Principles of Oncology section
includes new chapters on the cell cycle and on principles of
cancer management related to molecular pathology, cancer genetics,
and biologic therapy. The Practice of Oncology section features
entirely new chapters on the molecular biology of each organ site,
as well as up-to-date multimodality treatment guidelines for each
stage of disease. Also included are timely discussions of
supportive and palliative care, health care reform, regulatory
issues, drug development, gene therapy, and cancer vaccines. This
text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this
title.
