Frontiers of Cancer Biology: Current Trends in Cancer Research offers a comprehensive introduction to the genetic factors of cancer, detailing the roles of genomic instability, oncogenes, proto-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, DNA damage. and repair mechanisms. These foundational concepts are crucial for understanding the complexity of cancer biology and the genetic underpinnings that drive the disease. Beyond genetic factors, the book delves into viral genomics and its relationship to cancer, the influence of epigenetics, and the role of gene therapy in precision medicine.
Additionally, it addresses the latest trends and future directions in cancer genetics, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, professionals in the field, and academics looking to stay updated with cutting-edge developments in cancer biology.
